An ancient genius
This book should be in the library of anyone interested in Chinese thought, military strategy, insight into how to resolve difficult situations. I bought it because I had seen the excellent broadcast on the History Channel called "Sun Tsu and the Art of War."
Mark McNeilly was one of the commentatorsfor the film.
His approach brings a kind of order and clarity to the sometimes obscure statements of SunTsu.
The book is well worth reading and especially good in conjunction with the DVD.
