Description

'Opportunities multiply as they are seized.'

Written in the 6th century BC, Sun Tzu's The Art of War is a Chinese military treatise that is still revered today as the ultimate commentary on war and military strategy. Focussing on the principle that one can outsmart your foe mentally by thinking very carefully about strategy before resorting to physical battle, this philosophy continues to be applied to the corporate and business world.

Sun Tzu's timeless appraisal of the different aspects of warfare are laid out in 13 chapters, including sections on 'Laying Plans', 'Waging War' and 'Terrain'. Words that are as resonant today in every aspect of our lives as they were when he wrote them.

    Well, first of all, I have to say that the book may seem small, but it is great for its use. It has around 65 pages with 13 chapters (each chapter contains about 5 pages). The book is in English, which makes it very unpleasant to read since it contains difficult words (proficiency level) (I just tried the lower level). The book is 17 cm long and 11 cm wide, and since it is very small, it makes it easy for transportation and storage.

    The book talks about the philosophy and tactics used by Sun Tzu in the 6th century BC. I highly recommend reading it as it teaches war techniques and how a ruler should think in a war.
    10/10

    Happy reading!
