If you're going to pick up a copy of the "Art of War," this particular edition is the most attractive one to have sitting in a collection. You don't have to be an ancient Chinese general to learn from Sun Tzu's 2,000 year old masterpiece. Much of this material can still be applicable in day to day life if you look past the military language. Especially recommended for people trying to get ahead in tough fields like business or politics or even just for those who happen to like philosophy. Also check out the animated Art of War by Tsai Chi Chung if you're looking for a lighter hearted presentation of this and other Chinese classics.
This is a wonderful treatise on strategic thought. For whatever reason, Sun Tzu wrote in such a way as to let his text be as applicable today as it was 2400 years ago. Political, business, and military leaders would be well served by reading this book. It is obviously not just a book on warfare. Very little, in fact, is dedicated to actual battle. Sun Tzu argues that in order to win you must win before the battle actually takes place. You must put in place winning strategies to weaken your enemy's position and bolster yours.
So Sun Tzu can state, without disrespect to his ancestors: "Anciently those called skilled in war conquered an enemy easily conquered." This text must have been amazingly practical when it was written (even more than now) because there are lots of anecdotes and tactics that ancient military leaders would have found very useful. Even now, these examples are incredible useful for modern day readers.

Sun Tzu captured the ability to grab attention and then command it. Art of War tells literally how to command troops, watch them, and use them to the ultimate exploitaion of the enemy. Figuratively however, he tells how management should play their role at work, and even how great leaders should "command, watch, and use their troops." A philosophy one should not be without.
Twenty-Five Hundred years ago, Sun Tzu wrote this classic book of military strategy based on Chinese warfare and military thought. Since that time, all levels of military have used the teaching on Sun Tzu to warfare and cilivzation have adapted these teachings for use in politics, business and everyday life. The Art of War is a book which should be used to gain advantage of opponents in the boardroom and battlefield alike.
