The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Aidan Gillen - who has learned a thing or two about strategy through his roles as skilled manipulator Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish (Game of Thrones) and ambitious politician Tommy Carcetti (The Wire) - brilliantly performs this ancient classic. His experience in portraying insightful and, at times, cunning characters makes him a natural fit for this ancient collection of battlefield epigrams whose influence has grown tremendously in the modern world.

I read this book a couple of decades ago for university and thought to revisit it. Whilst insightful for the time it is obsolete now.

Written 2,500 years ago by Chinese general Sun Tzu, The Art of War is a poetic and potent treatise on military strategy still in use in war colleges around the world. ... Now you can experience the effectiveness of Sun Tzu's teachings even if you have no previous knowledge of the Art of War

I'm not planning on going to war anytime soo, that being said to take what is said and put it into today's context is a lot of effort.

Slightly overrated

A classical masterwork of an audiobook, clear cut and direct! The favourite one of my collection!
