He completely eschews the annoying modern tendency to view Art Of War as some "Ancient Chinese secret" guide to hostile business takeovers, and instead views it for what it is: a guide to formulating martial strategy in Warring States/Spring And Autumn period-China. I usually don't want to comment when you post about book recommendations but I will break my oath... because I thought everyone around the world saw/understood this work as guide even though I was given a small introducction via anime (a.k.a Thunder Jet...) don't laugh, that's how I always understood The Art of War.
