Today Many of Sun Tzu quotas are floating around mixed with Shakespeare and the Bible. And as with quote Many of the They Are out of context and misleading. The quoter Thinks usually repeating the word is Some sort of magic. Most versions of this work Spend more time Trying to Identify and Qualify Sun Tzu's writings than just quoting em. I will not go through all the arguments as to who "wrote what when" or "translated what when" as you can read this for yourself. Another distraction is the Attempt to show how the book was not applied Applied gold in recent wars. This May be interesting to someone Whose intention is to apply the theories of Sun Tzu; HOWEVER it is not His purpose writing someone else's interpretation of ict application. Now let's finally get to Sun Tzu. It is easy with hindsight and a closer look at the future to dismiss as Sun Tzu His practical tactical knowledge is of a time and place long gone. He Spends a lot of time on the use of weapons and information technology gathering of the time. This can be interesting in a historical context; --other wise it is quite amusing. Oh yes Those grains of truth I Mentioned, well May sound like clichés They aim They Are still viable. "Know your enemy and know yourself". Others are just practical sense and statistical outcomes That You learn in Any military training. I Could go through the list, aim again That Is why you buy the book. Now just as you decided que la book is outdated Any practical Purposes for today we-have artillery and now stealth and precision, the reminder That "No two wars are alike" and "it is flexibility That makes a difference" is shown today to still being white be true. Even in today's wars there is a need for good intelligence and deception. We put a lot of time and energy into Psy-Ops. Sun Tzu shows the advantage in Specialized units and crack troops. I Have Spent several years in the military and in business and can say this book is a nice addition to history, of very little value Otherwise to today's business world for war gold. Reviews The most abuse of this book is Trying to use it for projects as project management is a science That Was That icts in infancy at the time this book was written.
