The Art of War Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 270 ratings

The words held within this audiobook, where written over two and a half thousand years ago, ring just as true today as they did in fifth century BC China. Best-selling author and master storyteller James Clavell (Shōgun) brought The Art of War to greater prominence in the West in the 1980s and showed how the book’s instruction was applicable on a smaller scale and could be used for personal betterment. Clavell’s wonderfully evocative foreword and helpful notes throughout the text guide the listener through preparations and battle plans, correct use of weapons and knowing when to fight - and when not to fight.

With a deep understanding of both strategy and human nature, this military treatise illustrates the fine craft of knowing one’s enemy and oneself. From military officers to CEOs to those simply looking to be more powerful in their own life, The Art of War has become required reading for anyone seeking a path of success through the modern world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Treatise on Strategy.
    Reviewed in Canada on January 9, 2022
    The Art of War by Sun Tzu is the most important foundational treatise on strategy. It is not about war, it is about effective, efficient organizations that get the job done efficiently, effectively & accountable. James Clavell's edition is, to me, the easiest to read & understand, focusing more on the messages & wisdom of Sun Tzu rather than literal translations. I have read & loaned my old paperback copy numerous times over the years. Worth a re-read every few years to keep focused & relevant in organizational objectives. This small hardcover is exquisite.
