  “Thomas Cleary... again, a very detailed and someone who sticks to the orginal text translated the copy I prefered...
  
  This is used in Asia to teach the strategies of business... there are good lesson's in doing things in the prosperty of peace... war is just crashing everything you've worked for, including your families.

  “A MUST KEEP and re- read book!
  
  Written around the 6th century BC, the guiding principles of The Art of War still holds true in almost all aspects rendered in these modern day times . Personally, in this harried and hurried world, this book bounces you back to rational behavior when all else has gone snafu . Why even my then 8 yr old son (now 15, and another book glutton) has used this book to topple an adult opponent in their strategy game - COMMAND and CONQUER GENERALS. This book is indeed still among my tops! Highly recommended .

  “Conflict is an inevitable part of life, according to this ancient Chinese classic of strategy, but everything necessary to deal with conflict wisely, honorably, victoriously, is already present within us. Compiled more than two thousand years ago by a mysterious warrior-philosopher, The Art of War is still perhaps the most prestigious and influential book of strategy in the world, as eagerly...”

  “Humans, by nature, are a warlike being. Rather than being forced to preform trial an error in warfare and massacre hundreds of people, this book would help the civilizations beyond the stone age in terms of war.
  Also, it's very helpful if you play board games.”

  “It is amazing that nearly all precepts regarding war (in any form) can be laid out in such simple, direct and succinct language. I doubt that any modern book on the subject could enlighten more. Interestingly, the concepts of victory and defeat and the reasons for both are applicable not only to war, but to any situation where you are in conflict. Highly recommend.”

  “General Tzu knew about war, that's for sure. I have read that reading this book has become mandatory for U.S. Marine Corps recruits during their training. ”
