Published Before Ready March 11, 2009 Jean-Paul Valois (Brussels, Belgium) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book unfortunately seems to have been published before it was ready, as other reviewers also note.
The elementary error on the Table of Contents page (with Chapter IX [9] appearing between Chapter IV [4] and Chapter V [5]) suggests no professional proofreader or editor involved. The other spelling, grammatical, and content errors that appear in the text suggest that the material is a largely unchanged Project Gutenberg text file: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/132
All in all, the publisher should really release a second edition that fixes the myriad easy to find errors. Particularly since this book is obviously selling well and the publisher ought therefore have the funds with which to do so.
In the meantime, a comparable edition at the same price (but properly proofread and corrected) is the Pax Librorum edition: The Art of War which is fully downloadable/previewable via a PDF eBook at the publisher's website. Or just about any other one from more well-known and established publishers.
Art of War-Sun Tzu February 25, 2009 W. Petrasek 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Dear Customer Service: Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy the teachings of one of the Chinese Great Thinkers and enjoy their rich history.
The Art of War by Sun Tzu February 1, 2009 Pam Harrison (Vine Grove, KY) Few of the classics have that timeless quality that a reader finds enduring. The Art of War is one of those, with its wisdom and lessons in how to predict what your enemies will do, and common-sense advice on how to avert disaster.
This book has long been a favorite of business executives and entrepreneurs, and I highly recommend its wisdom to anyone in the present day who is trying to make their way in an uncertain and unpredictable world economy. This is an easy to read book suitable to people from any walk of life. Arm yourself with it and use it wisely.

What to do, and How to do? December 9, 2008 Guang Wu (China) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is indeed a great book, then the ancient Chinese might not fully know what to do in warfare.
But now this book as well as too many other books tells us only what to do, does not tell us how to do.
The issue of how to do is perhaps the most difficult point in any activity.
