Good book but lacks originality...By E. ChuThis book is an excellent compilation on Chinese military classics. The material is comprehensive and well organized. The only minor flaw is that it often uses passages from Sun Tzu's "Art of War" and Sun Pin's "Military Methods"; which readers may already have in their library. Nevertheless; this is a good book if you don't already have any other Chinese warfare books.6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. A book of quotationsBy New MainerThis is a quoation book. Sawyer divides the book into chapters devoted to specific aspects of warfare. Each chapter seems to attempt to distill esential wisdom regarding the nature of the aspects of war by compiling relevant quotations from the original Chinese texts. This makes the book a good source of quotations on the nature of warfare; but it is not coherent thesis on warfare.
