Reviews

"The military writings of Sun Tzu have been evaluated and re-evaluated many times until they have become almost a cliché... One question rarely answered when applying them to their originally intended field of warfare is how to apply them usefully in the real world on an actual battlefield... This new work strives to correct that, applying Sun Tzu's writings to modern battles, including some very recent ones modern readers will find familiar."
