Our customer reviews
This book is a great, simple and good translation of the rules of war that the original author has shared with his followers and the upcoming generations. This man has put so much thought and genius in his warring ways that I am in awe just by reading what he's chosen to share. Current day rules can't even compare to this work.
This special edition has the rules, divided as everyone knows them. No additional commentaries. Standing after the guidelines for being a great warmaster is a good linguistic note on the different meanings of some words through the book. It's small and reasonably easy to read, but understanding it would take some more time. At least for me is needs a lot of thought.show more
