Understanding Sun Tzu on the Art of War offers hard earned truths on competition and conflict as presented by a soldier and philosopher who could as easily have lived today as 2,500 years ago. It presents these truths in an easy to read format that you can finish in the time it takes to fly from Washington D.C. to Chicago.

Heartland Reviews

As a retired military intelligence professional and conflict theorist, I must say this is the best interpretation of Sun Tzu’s classic work I have read. The author focuses on the meanings behind this ancient Chinese war philosopher’s writings. He puts them into a modern context, making them easy to understand. Apparently the Department of Defense agrees with me on this, since they have selected Mr. Cantrell’s book as a text for the National War College in Washington DC. This is a must read for all military officers and business leaders. It rated a perfect five hearts.

Your book was extremely thorough in its explanation and presentation and is the standard on which all other analyses of Sun Tzu should be based.
