Has anyone read The Art of War?

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

People, you can find it on Project Gutenberg [http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page]. The site compiles works that are public domain. Many of them are made to be E-reader ready, and almost all that I've seen have at least a PDF form. Have a feast of knowledge.

This is most excellent, thankyou

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Yup. Sure have. It's alright, kind of a general outline of how to conduct your nation in its conflict with others. Good read.

 

[squballs1234]

well he probably meant it was better to him, you can't really say one book is better than another. (techniclly)

 

[Kittenmauler]

I personally found it to be a bit overrated.

 

[Naheal]

That, the Book of Five Rings, and the Prince by Nicollo Machiavelli. All excellent reads.

 

[Rainboq]

It has led me too win many an SC2 game...

 

[Shock and Awe]

Yes, and it is a very good book, it applies to a lot of things in life. Though it obviously would not work as a word for word guide to modern warfare.

I haven't, although I've been meaning to read it for about....5 years now

I found the history of the period and the controversy around who Sun Tzu was more interesting than the actual text. Placing soldiers on impassible terrain just didn't seem to fit into my everyday life.

Maybe you should have checked out Opium Warlord on Career Day, then.

I'm not much of an upper management type.

I did. I thought it was rather short, and mostly common sense.

Well common sense is pretty rare these days.

Thanks for giving me a headache with that horrible fricking music.

Couldn't get into the degree for narco-economics, huh?

I did back in elementary school. I intend to again to refresh myself, since most everything I've forgotten.

 

[A.A.K]

[Queen Michael]

I read it and I liked it. Not much more to say.
