A review by thewordsdevourer
The Art of War by Sun Tzu, Lionel Giles

informative reflective medium-paced

3.0

a seminal treatise on military strategy whose seeming simplicity belies its remarkable sense and wisdom. the art of war also provides a great, concise--though a lil dense--summary to the basics of warfare, esp in the eastern canon. im happy i only picked this back up after like 4 yrs of incompletion, for if i had finished this earlier, i wouldnt get or appreciate it as much (w/ that said, thank you, the poppy war). nevertheless, this particular published edition does leave quite a lot to be desired in terms of production: there were formatting errors, countless glaring typos, and inaccuracies in the picture credits.
