this is legitimately a great insight
people act like the lessons in this book are all "dude just do something the enemy doesn't expect lmao"
>The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China by Ralph D. Sawyer
this contains my favorite translation of and commentary on the work. far surpasses all others in my opinion
>Mastering the Art of War by Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang
this is pretty good secondary reading, even if its content is slightly doctored to maximize its appeal to Westerners. highly recommend

>There is no instance of a country having benefitted from prolonged warfare.

>be like water, my friend

>Surprise your enemy
>Don't let them know your plans

W-whoah

>Dude just be good at predicting your enemy and it will be easier to win!

>Let's post the simple and obvious parts of the book and ignore the genuinely insightful and brilliant parts

Strategy does not win all battles.

>don't let the enemy know your plan and don't be slow
Is this shit written for special ed kids?

I'm glad I found other like minded people to laugh at the book with me, but I did like this - "To lift an autumn hair is no sign of great strength; to see the sun and moon is no sign of sharp sight; to hear the noise of thunder is no sign of a quick ear."
