Publisher's Summary
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.
Aidan Gillen - who has learned a thing or two about strategy through his roles as skilled manipulator Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish (Game of Thrones) and ambitious politician Tommy Carcetti (The Wire) - brilliantly performs this ancient classic. His experience in portraying insightful and, at times, cunning characters makes him a natural fit for this ancient collection of battlefield epigrams whose influence has grown tremendously in the modern world.

An inspiring if somewhat dated read
Though references to banners & chariots may betray the relevancy of Sun Tsu's insight in daily life, the art of war is a truly fascinating read.

Brilliant
Highly recommended, a strategy not only applicable in wars of old or recent past. Sun Tzu was a very intuitive and intelligent man, who, not only was great in strategy, but had foresight and vision plus common sense, an unbeatable combination! Indeed, this can be applied in regards what is going on the world over right now , not in the physical aspect, but on the strategic, emotional and intuitive .
