The Art of War

De: Sun Tzu

Narrado por: Mel Foster

The Art of War dates back to the fifth century BC, and is an ancient Chinese military handbook. Attributed to the intelligent military strategist Sun Tzu, the title of the work is Master Sun's Rules of Warfare when literally translated from Chinese. The book contains 13 chapters, each of which are dedicated to a single aspect of warfare strategy. Emperor Shenzong of Song deemed it the most important of China's Seven Military Classics in 1080 and it is still one of the most influential strategy texts in East Asia. Leaders such as Mao Zedong, General Douglas MacArthur, and General Vo Nguyen Giap are said to have drawn inspiration from Sun Tzu's famous work.

Thank you

Thank you Mel Foster for reading this book to me. You did a great job. I have heard about this book for many years, but just never picked it up, or had the time to read it.

I can see why this book has stuck around through the years.


I requested this book, and have voluntarily left this review.

It's fine

The text is interesting but there's no introduction or preamble that would provide context for the book itself. Knowing who Sun Tzu was, why he wrote this book and for whom all would have made this a better experience.

Narrator sounds like a history professor. Not a bad voice but I'm glad this one was just over an hour.

appearing weak brings you strength

The Art of War is an insight about war fare that can literally be named the wisdom of war if followed.

Eyes open

Relevant to life as a whole. I've been using most of these tactics prior to listening

Sun Tzu the way you expected

It's as the title states. it's Sun Tzu's words brought to life. Interesting work that could be used in everyday life but even more so in war

perfection

I loved it, especially since I can't Envision using it in everyday life. have already come with perfect ways to Institute the ideas of Sun Tzu

Exactly what I was looking for

This was exactly what I was looking for all I wanted was the whole book and nothing but the book no added flare or zest some people said the narrator is too monotone I didn't get that overall a great audio book.
