The Art of War: AOG Study Edition

By: Sun Tzu

Narrated by: C. J. McAllister

Sun Tzu's iconic treatise, The Art of War, has been studied by military historians and strategists for centuries. The concepts he recommends remain as effective and his advice as perceptive today as it has ever been. However, The Art of War is certainly not only of use to individuals in the military. The principles he lays out are remarkably applicable to a wide variety of professions and situations, from business to politics to everyday interpersonal relationships.

This edition includes the full, unabridged version of The Art of War. In addition, it includes clear yet extensive study tools and discussion questions to help listeners more easily understand this classic work.

Good principles for everyday life

This was interesting. I have never read this book and really wanted to. I appreciated the actual story and the commentary was useful. At first I felt like I was in school again, shook that off, and then actually appreciated the questions being asked. It really made me think about how this pertains to my life as I am not a soldier. Really a good listen for those wanting to learn how to take Sun Tzu’s military tactics and apply them to everyday life. He really offers much more than just basic attack plans.
Narrator did a great job. His tone was perfect for this type of reading and he definitely made this type of book palatable.

A good study help to a timeless work

Hearing the wisdom of Sun Tzu alongside the additional questions to help understand the material is a good combination for anyone wanting to learn and apply the teachings of The Art of War. With applications to life as well as warfare I would recommend this audiobook both the Art of War as well as its study overview.

A Classic, but not an edition I care for

I received a review copy of this audiobook.

While the book itself is undeniably a classic, I did not care for this edition. The questions for discussion between sections are largely themed around the idea of applying the principles of warfare to everyday life, and I’ve never been terribly fond of that interpretation.

The narration was fine, but nothing remarkable.

Well Done

Everyone knows what this book is, so I won't waste much time discussing its merits. Let's just say it is very much worth reading. Despite the title, this work is not only applicable to military engagement, but to conflict of any kind. Who doesn't experience conflict? Who could not benefit from some classic advice on conflict strategy? This is it, in its timeless and quintessential form.

There are many versions of this title in production, but this version is well done and a pleasure to listen to. I will listen to it again.
