Acquired taste, if you're into strategising & analogies and metaphors to describe things and feel up to 👂 tip, after tip, non-stop in each chapter this would be for you, there's some interesting parts, but, I lost interest at times, I think the E-book may be better as you can pause and soak in parts and go at your own pace, it took almost 1&1/2hours so, it's great if you're busy doing a lot of 🏠 work or something as you'll get through it all, the reader was easy to understand which is good. It just felt like listening to quote after quote, it's not a storyline throughout.

You guys that are complaining that it's not a story. It's because it's not supposed to be it's The Art Of War I can guarantee you every great militant mind in every country has read this book. That's because Sun Tzu was such a brilliant strategist. So you can thank this book for putting your great Generals, Coloniels, soldiers that have fought & died for your countries so you can sit here & be a critic...

Sadly, because of the automated recording, I couldn't even listen to it for 60 seconds! My brain just couldn't compute the words when read by an automated voice. 😒

About the author

Sun Tzu (544–496 BC.) was a Chinese general, military strategist, writer and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China. His works focus on alternatives to battle, such as stratagem, delay, the use of spies and alternatives to war itself, the making and keeping of alliances, the uses of deceit and a willingness to submit, at least temporarily, to more powerful foes.
