Sun Tzu II - The Art of War by Sun Tzu

Pros: offers ancient Chinese wisdom on how to prevent unnecessary war

Cons: some leaders don't apply this wisdom

The Bottom Line: Technically I'm crashing this write-off since I told the host I had nothing to post now. I come in peace, though!

Review: I believe we can fly back through time 2500 years for wisdom in The Art of War that many of our leaders are sadly, horribly lacking today. This review was first written a few years ago, but not exactly placed in the right place (the translator...

Pros: Valuable lessons from an ancient master.

Cons: Requires study to glean the book's secrets.

The Bottom Line: If you desire excellence, study The Art of War .

Review: The Art of War was written five hundred years before the time of Christ. In this work, Chinese philosopher turned general Sun Tzu , lays out his grand strategy of waging war. Warfare truly is a form of art if practiced according to the...

Pros: fantastic fusion of military genius and Eastern philosophies

Cons: eagerly misappropriated by dunderheaded powertrippers who mistake business for warfare

Review: It seems especially appropriate that I should have discovered this listing through the "Products in Search of Opinions" feature. I write for the sake of the expression rather than the trickle of pennies or any sort of recognition, but if...

Pros: A Useful Tool for Strategy Even Today

Cons: none

Review: The "The Art of War" was compiled over 2,000 years
ago by a mysterious Chinese philosopher/warrior Sun
Tzu. It is still perhaps the most influential book
of strategy in the world today. "The Art of War" is
as...

Pros: Good read, relevant information.

Cons: none.

The Bottom Line: Read the art of war, it has advice that you could probably use if you know how to apply it to today's life.

Review: The Art of War, probably one of the most recognized books in today's society. A book that has inspired everyone from emperors of the authors time, to the most popular rap groups of our time. Sun Tzu, the original author, and a contemporary of...

Pros: Eastern thinking, classic

Cons: some part can become boring to read

Review: The Art of War, Sun Tzu's Masterpiece (only piece as far as I know) should be required reading for everyone. I am no military expert, nor do I plan to pursue the military field at all, but I read this book for the hell of it, and I as amazed....

Pros: One of the best eastern philosophy books. Perfect Addition to any library.

Cons: Not everyone has read it. :-(

Review: The Art of War was written by a Chinese Taoist military strategist, Sun Tzu, thousands of years ago in China in a time of warring states. This book is a strategy guide of budding generals with all of Sun Tzu's incites.

Taoism:

Pros: Best book on military strategy. Ever.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Review: Remarkably, this book, the very one which graced the shelves of ancient japan and china, is on epinions.com. This book, more than any other, has contributed to the rise of generals. It's simple, poetic prose is excelently suited for any tactician, or...

Pros: This text helped form the foundation for many modern, sophisticated military practices.

Cons: When any text enjoys the status that this book possesses, objectivity may become lost.

The Bottom Line: My rating is aimed at the publisher, not Sun Tzu. I highly recommend reading his writings but I'm not so sure about this edition.

Review: Overview:
Over 2500 years old, the heart of this book has been a source of inspiration and guidance for military leaders, warriors, businessmen and politicians from both Eastern and Western schools of thought. In it, the author lays a...

Pros: You can read it really quick 'cause it's short.

Cons: Your talents will fail to impress anyone who's literate.

The Bottom Line: You want to know how to succeed in business? Take a night class.

Review: I can't believe some of the stuff I read about the "Art of War". One reviewer had the gall to suggest that the Art of War was the secret to the Japanese leap from feudal society to world economic power. I guess he skipped the class on World War II.
