4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good for executives with limited exposure to Sun Tzu,
By Reviewer X (Las Vegas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art Of War For Executives (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is excellent for businessmen who have had little or no exposure to Sun Tzu or the Art of War. In very plain, simple and easy to read language it makes a clear bridge between the art of business and the art of warfare.Some will say that this book is too simplistic, but the real question is why would this book have to be difficult or too involved? The Art of War is a simply written book, but it is the lessons that are hard to grasp and understand. Plain language does not automatically denote simple thoughts. The best authors and teachers in the world are the ones who can simplify the most difficult theories and make them accessible to everyone. I think this book does just that and is an excellent beginning point for businessmen and their introduction to The Art of War and Chinese philosophy.

A Simple, Useful Guide,
By
This review is from: Art Of War For Executives (Mass Market Paperback)
What I liked about Krause's book was the way he explains the teachings of Sun Tzu for the simple folk. He wrote the book to help the business man or woman. It helped me see the deeper lessons Sun Tzu has to offer as well--lessons about life.

Too Simplistic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art Of War For Executives (Mass Market Paperback)
The book is too simplistic and lacks the spirit of an ancient general, there are no real world examples in this book. My recommendation is to read "Sun Tze The Art of Business"
