Ian Thomas I have this book called "The Art Of War". I was wondering if anyone has read it? If so do you recommend it to me? It sounds like a pretty good book, I know it's about art and I am interested in reading it but i'm not sure if it will be good or not.


Ruben It's definitely worth reading!
It's probably the oldest books about military strategy, and it goes through some recommendations to military leaders about when and how to fight, and most important, when not to.

De Yu I know this is a month later, but I must say this book is brilliant. You have made a slight mistake in thinking that it is about art, however. It is actually about war theory. The word "art" in this case means "skill."
This book is really useful if you're looking for something which can help you think critically and logically. Its principles can be applied in every area, not just war. It is a quick read indeed and very interesting. If you are willing to work through it and search for applications in your life, it will be a great read for you.
