Sun Tzu: The Art of War - (My Narration)

The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the 5th century BC. The work is composed of 13 chapters, each devoted to an aspect of warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics. For almost 1,500 years it was the lead text in an anthology that would be formalised as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare and has influenced both Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond.

I'm at war with life, and this one made me a commanding general of my self.

If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight. -Sun Tzu

Every army that has failed, has violated one or more of Sun Tzu's rules. Napoleon was flawless until he became arrogant & violated the art of war.

Never underestimate the ancient wisdom, just effective today as it was then~

Applying these principles to the ruling elite (governments and their cronies / dictators / warlords etc.) sheds light on how the masses are divided, manipulated, tempted, broken and defeated.

Thanks for supplying the world with free audio books; keep up the good work.

I feel very fortunate that I listened to this version of Sun Tzu's The Art of War before any other, because this is extremely well done. Mr. Homer your skills appear to be quite impeccable.

Nathen Bedford Forrest pretty much used the same principle as is defined at 21:05. He used cruder wording but it meant the same. Be the first with the mostest. I love that because he understood that the enemy will not move as a single cohesive force when advancing toward an enemy position miles away. He hit the enemy when forming up then advanced to take out reinforcements that often had been given a location to march to, but Forrest defeated the initial force then marched to meet any other forces. He never lost an engagement, because his swift tactics always took the enemy when they were separately inferior on numerics. Never let them combine and move to a point forward of their projected place of contact. Most engagements, if not all, he was outnumbered by up to two to three times his number.

The worst mistakes involve "love".

Things a good warrior learns in 10 life times and a general should be born with that knowledge, outstanding.

What a man! Sun Tzu RIP. Indeed greatness eventually is innate ability, it cannot be learned and can only be taught. No one can attain a height that his or her innate ability will not permit, these great men teach and lesser men listen and in the end no one else can truly replicate their ability now and forever more. Very sad reality this is. Thanks for this audio book, many thanks.

[WinterShadow]

I read this book so many times and everytime i got something new this is a great book it teaches u the rules of engagement in war

[yaboi]

Listening to this while playing Pokemon. Roxanne won't even know what hit her when I'm done.

[jeffsmith]

Very nicely done. Thanks for recording and sharing this important book.

[jackalina]

I’ve always meant to get around to reading this book!!!! So THANKS SO MUCH ♥️♥️♥️

[christianpetersen]

I love listening to this while playing Civilization. Every single advice applies 1:1.

[asaalul]

I heard/read somewhere that Napoleon used this book to conquer Europe. Magnificent.
"Not to lose is depend on you, yourself. To win is depend on your enemy and circumstances", isn't that true in all aspects of life!?.
Thank you for the excellent video.
