Book Reviews of The Art of War (Dover Military History, Weapons, Armor)
Book Review: "A Matter of Vital Importance (War)."
Summary: 5 Stars
Sun Tzu realized that war, 'a matter of vital importance to the State', demanded study and analysis; his is the first known attempt to formulate a rational basis for the planning and conduct of military operations. Unlike most Greek and Roman writers, Sun Tzu was not primarily interested in the elaboration of involved strategems or in superficial and transitory techniques. His prupose was to develop a systematic treatise to guide rulers and generals in the intelligent prosecution of successful war. He believed that the skillful strategist should be able to subdue the enemy's army without engaging it, to take his cities without laying seige to them, and to overthrow his State without bloodying swords. Superb. Without hesitation or reservation five stars!
