Lovely
I like it. Simply exquisite, the read is lovely. Book is smaller than my will to live which is bad but the dimensions are listed so I can't be mad about my lack of literacy. Overall, me gusta.

Great Quality.
I was told this version of the book provided a better translation than other ones for English readers. I was not disappointed. Great translation by Roger Ames and I love this book. This book also contains some artistic pictures of traditional eastern painting which I count as a bonus. No regret.

An easy-to-read translation
"The Art of War" is available in many translations. This one is much easier to read than most others. It is uncluttered by footnotes and references.It is not a "quick read". It is a "read-and-think".

Wrong Translation - see comments.
I wanted the Roger Ames translation (considered by many to be one of the best translations), which was the link I clicked on to purchase. Imagine my surprise when the link took me to the Giles translation. This is quite inappropriate for Amazon to take you to a different version than the one selected and wanted.Very upset that this happens but for 99cents I'll keep it. Still want the Ames translation in eBook format, guess I'll have to look elsewhere for that since Amazon doesn't allow me to purchase the Kindle version of the Ames translation

Get it in hard copy
This is very short - buy the hard copy. It's a classic text, don't read it on Audible 1.5 speed like I did, haha.

Short but not necessarily bad.
I didn't think it would be this short but otherwise enjoyed it.

Read it, now I’ve declared war on the scottish
Yeah read this book, then felt an overwhelming urge to declare war on the nearest country. It’s going well.

Una perla
Senza tempo, utilissimo. Merita. Formato un po' grande e quindi da meno pagine, personalmente avrei preferito un tascabile ma così è il prodotto, niente da ridire. Must have, ottimo prezzo.

The art of war is not to kill and destroy but to gain advantage through planning and organization
An excellent translation of a classic work that has guided military planners for over two thousand years. Master Sun's principles apply not only to war but to many other adversarial situations in which to goal is to "conquer" another politically, ideologically or economically. Four centuries before the coming of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, Master Sun had already written these words: “It is easy to love your friend, but sometimes the hardest lesson to learn is to love your enemy.”

A bit bent around the corners, but that's postage around the world for ya. Other than that, it's in perfect condition.
