Wrong edition

Advertised as 1899 but was 1994

Not the right version

I thought it the was the original copy of this book definitely not what I expected

Not the complete texts. One or two tiny paragraphs on each page.

Have had several copies of this book over the years but I end up giving away to people who express a

Have read and reread several times. Surprised when people have never heard of this book. There is a reason why this book has withstood the test of time.

Sun Tzu knows what's good

Great book

Great quality!

A book worth reading multiple times for.

Simply advice and thinking styles that transcend time.

Arrived on time Interesting

Everyone should know about Sun Tzu...

I take a star off because, frankly, alot of the geography/history is a bit too arcane for the Western reader. But it's a great book nonetheless.

The most awesome book on tactics and strategy in one book!!!

My jaw dropped when i first read this book, i never new something this detailed on war existed! A must read for war gamers, these strategies can be used for a variety of games out there. Nicely done format, awesome commentries....words cannot explain....
