Sun Tzu's The Art of War

Whit · 04-03-2003, 01:07 AM

     I haven't read it in years, but I think now is a good time for a reread. Who else has read it? Any thought's about the current war connected to the read?
     I'll post my thoughts as I have them, that way they aren't well considered and will probably be wrong. No wait... Ahem I'll post connected thoughts.
     Also, if you've read it, any thoughts about the book not connected to the war? Let's have those to.

The best leader defeats his enemies without ever stepping on the battlefield...

Read it, but too long ago to make anything coherent of it now, might reread it some time.

Whack! whack! Slap the hawks and the doves. Great stuff.
