Interesting experience and very succinct.
You could probably do a lecture on each sentence in the book.
I'm not good at remembering all the postulates of war strategy, unfortunately.

This book is OLD. Very, very old. I was rather intimidating going into it, expecting it to be wordy and convoluted, like many classics, but it was a surprisingly quick read. For the most part, the writing is simple and straightforward. And the ideas proposed seem sound and logical. 

A bit dry, but that's to be expected, given the subject matter. 

I'm glad to get another classic under my belt. As far as classics go, this was a pretty good one.
