Half of the book is filler/forward!
3 out of 5 stars
Half of the book is filler/forward!
I added a picture to prove it, literally the whole first half of the book is just the context surrounding the book as well as useless jargan and intellectual ego-stroking from the publisher/composers. After the pink note is when the actual book starts and I just think it's really frustrating that so much of it wasn't what I wanted to read and if I'm paying for the book, I want to read THE BOOK. Like they wrote more about the book than the actual book itself and that's insane! If you want to write a thesis or your views on the book itself, then write a separate review or synopsis. The book itself is a solid must-read for anyone; but this particular thing was just too infuriating not to mention.

    There is a reason this book is so well known. The philosophy here, while meant to spotlight success in martial conflict, is very much applicable as wisdom for how to live a thoughtful and intentional life. It's a fairly short read but direct and to the point.

    I bought both books....the one here mentioned and the one I previously reviewed as his.

    It does not matter as both are the same type of writing...that of Sun Tzu....and extremely important for us Westerners to know about.

    To the Asian mind bent on war and winning: a promise means nothing. Winning is everything and the devious Asian mind has patience, has zeal, has a whole different set of values from that of the Westerner with our sense of "honor." If we have given our word, a promise to what has been agreed, we feel "honorbound" to follow through on it.

    The Asian mind would not, for example, take time off in World War II for Christmas as a time not to fight. The Asian mind would not comprehend this.

    If the goal is to win, ruthlessness is considered honorable. Winning is what it is all about and the Japanese at the end of World War II are a good example. Having "lost face" at that time, they turned to business, entrepreneur-ship, if you wish to call it something....and determine to "win the war of business."

    They succeeded immeasurably. They started with textiles as the least costly materials (cotton) and cheap labor. Once they acquired the capital, they put their money into developing transistors....remember the first transistor radios?
    Eventually even one with the name General Electric (if you looked inside, it said "Made in Japan."

    Next they used the capital gained from these world-wide sales to develop television sets.

    Next they went into the computer business.

    Somewhere in this mix they developed cars totally superior to our American planned-to-rust-out cars and no longer did our cars not start or fall apart in a short time. We have only our American businessmen to thank for their poor quality and cutting corners in quality.

    The Art of War.......an invaluable read....by everyone. Now.

    "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu is undeniably a classic treatise on military strategy and tactics that has stood the test of time. However, as a modern reader, I found some aspects of the Kindle edition to be less than satisfactory.

    Firstly, the translation and formatting in this edition could be improved. While the core principles of Sun Tzu's teachings are timeless, the translation used in this Kindle version occasionally feels outdated and difficult to follow. Some passages lack clarity and precision, which can detract from the reader's understanding and appreciation of the text.

    Secondly, the formatting of the Kindle edition could benefit from enhancements. There were instances where the text appeared disjointed or difficult to navigate, especially when referring back to specific chapters or sections. A more user-friendly layout would greatly enhance the reading experience and make it easier to digest the profound insights offered by Sun Tzu.

    Lastly, while the content itself is profound and insightful, it may not appeal to all readers outside of military or strategic studies. The book focuses primarily on warfare and strategy, which may limit its relevance or interest to those seeking broader philosophical or historical insights.

    In conclusion, "The Art of War" remains a seminal work on military strategy, but this Kindle edition could benefit from improvements in translation, formatting, and accessibility. For readers deeply interested in military history or strategy, it still offers valuable wisdom, but others may find its applicability and readability somewhat limited.

    This Audio Book has no commentary and is the writings of The Art of War by Sun Tzu only. I have The Art of War in written form with and without Commentary and frankly like the version without commentary better. I really like this Audio version. The reader has a good voice, easy to understand and doesn't interject his personal emotional feeling during the reading. It is read in narrative form without the reading of Chapter number or or number of the paragraphs. For example Attack by Fire or The Use of Spies, followed by Sun Tzu says, then the subject under that heading. This is actually a plus for me since it's very easy to follow the logic under each area of instruction, making a very smooth easy to follow narrative. A person can follow along with a written copy if they wish, but I found myself laying the book down, kicking back, and simply listening to the smooth logical, easy to follow reading. This is a small audio book but very enjoyable and still instructional. I have listened to this several times and still learn and just plain enjoy the reading. At 69 years old that sometimes isn't easy with some Audio Books I have. I do recommend this one. You can download this into Media Player and make a Playlist, the chapter headings are shown, you can't bookmark if you stop but I simply write down the chapter I stopped in and the verse on a slip of paper in my written copy which allows me to come back later and pick up where I left off in the Audio Book. There may be an easier way but I don't know it. Hope this helps someone.
