Write a customer review. Read reviews that mention sun tzu art of war must read years ago great book easy to read required reading jake grafton lionel giles highly recommend read this book common sense stephen coonts ancient chinese good read everyday life anyone interested know the enemy good book thomas cleary. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. I want to tell future readers of this book in this way. I read it first when I was 14 or I thought it was a book on how to smartly fight a war. Then I re-read it when I was 28 and it occurred to me that it may be an instruction book on how to navigate an honorable life.
Years passed and I recently found it at the bottom of a box in my closet.

I read it again at age I realized it has more to offer. If you read this book, you will actively have to replace Sun Tzus' ancient terms and placement of hierarchy and apply them to modern situations and people.
Family, bosses, neighbors, employees and the list goes on. It is my belief that this "manual" can help solve minor and major disruptions in life if used correctly. It is a book meant for good. VERY misleading of Amazon. This is a thin booklet overview. The reviews here cover many different versions of The Art of War and are all combined here. It's a complete joke.
Gagliardi is extremely passionate about all things Sun Tzu. But all of this aside, how successful is Mr.
Gagliardi at his most basic task: This book is a complete mess, with unforgivable errors in both translation and general knowledge concerning China and the Warring States era present in almost every verse. In lieu of a laundry list I will give you just a one line example where Mr.
Gagliardi clearly shows that he is out of his depth in terms of translation competence. I maintain a database of 30 translations of The Art of War in English that I use to compare and contrast various efforts, and included the screenshot of the relevant verse so you can compare it to how others have approached the text.

In Chapter 11, Sun Tzu is concerned that his own soldiers might either break and run or else refuse to support the other flanks of his own army while in battle. To show how this can be remedied, Sun Tzu brings up the example of how a certain snake can provide a valuable lesson for his soldiers. As Gagliardi translates it, the line reads: The original Chinese characters for this line are: So the line should read: Chang is located and why it was relevant to Sun Tzu, you might be surprised.
Sun Tzu never actually mentioned Mt. Chang, but instead was referring to a Mt. Heng, where this extraordinary snake supposedly lived by the way, Sun Tzu gave the snake a name, the Shuairan, a fact that was completely missed by Gagliardi.
