3.0 out of 5 stars Timeless wisdom spoiled by lack lustre editorial commentary, 6 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Shambhala Pocket Classics: The Art of War (Shambala Pocket Classics) (Paperback)
I very much enjoyed Sun Tzu's timeless pearls of wisdom though I wouldn't agree that they are a panacea for all the ills of business and/or personal life. However, I was more disappointed with Cleary's editorial commentary of the translated text. I often found him simply reiterating the text, albeit in a more verbose and gramatically correct form. He seemed to presume ignorance on the part of the reader. Less Cleary more Sun Tzu.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENCE OF SUN TZU - THE ART OF WAR, 31 Oct 2002
The art of war by Sun Tzu really is a book of excellence. This book forewarded by B.H. Liddell Hart really helps you to unterstand the chapters written by Sun Tzu, the well structured introduction gives examples of the chapters in action. Also, the comments of other legends given in the chapters are helpful, in that it gives a deep understanding of the words of Sun Tzu. The book is inspiring, the wise words of Sun Tzu implies to everyday situations, in that it enforces logical thinking of methods of solving everyday problems. This book is definatly one for purchase, to sharpen up your mind, or "sharpen your blades" as Sun Tzu states.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact but concise, 2 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of War (Shambhala Classics) (Paperback)
The author did an amazing job of cramming the complete Art of War of General Sun-Tzu, in this little book. I have read several versions and have to say this book is worth the money and is defiantly worth a read. I especially enjoyed the section on the tar tars.

Final words, this book is really worth its money.
