Reviews for The Art of War

[Omar Zoubi · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It’s a good read, highly recommended for military tactic enthusiasts and strategists. I will say though, not earth shattering in terms of logic - I will say that every war is different and it’s nearly impossible to predict or steer how it proceeds.
