reviewed The Essence of War: Leadership and Strategy from the Chinese Military Classics on August 08, 2012 The Essence of War
I really enjoyed The Essence of War, Sawyer does an excellent job compiling excerpts of the seven military classics into one book. It gives some insight into the ancient affairs of the Chinese military warfare.
I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to read some tidbits on this part of history then this is a great starting point.
