4A Great Composition of the ClassicsOct 05, 2009
Having recently began a Masters couse in Military Studies, this book is a must read for anyone who is interested in such a topic. The compilation is a phenomenal resource and should be able to be utilized for various purposes throughout my studies.

5Awesome BookJul 05, 2009
The seven classics in this book are so good that the chinese military classified them so that no up and coming rebels could read them; But nowadays everyone can, and should read them, so do it. It is an essential for those who seek to understand conflict, prosperity, and humanity itself.

4Well writenFeb 13, 2009
I, for one, enjoyed this book. I am not here to critic, as a few of these other reviews appear to be. One, the book is easy to understand and follow. Meaning, the translations are well recorded. Two, I have recently been curious in Chinese history of warfare and this book was able to show me much Chinese philosophy towards warfare. I recomend it this book to any follower of military history or Chinese warfare. You get your moneys worth.

5ExcellentSep 01, 2007
Sawyer knows his subject. He is a master of Chinese warfare and culture. He even teaches you how to pronounce some common Chinese words that we in the west always mispronounce.

The book is great. It covers a lot --- not just The Art of War, though that's included. It is a complete study of the Chinese strategies of war and I recommend it to those interested in this topic.
