Has anyone ever read this book?I finished it today i have to say it is a fantastic read.The descriptions and the dialogues are really inspiring and it also has a small cynic side that makes you smile as you read.

Ive read:

The Art of War - by Sun Tzu
On War - Carl von Clausewitz

But I can't say as I've read that particular version....

Perhaps he means The Prince

In which case, yes, it is a very interesting read.

Machiavelli is awesome.

Machiavelli also did an "Art of War". I believe I used a quote from it in one of the Renaissance of War rp's. I've only read a little of it. I have the Prince and I also have Sun Tzu's Art of War.

I've also got this as an inspirational, for those that can see it...

There's also Jomini's Art of War. His and Sun Tzu's are probably among my more favorite military texts.

i've heard of a book called art of war before but never really read them

I meant the mahcaivel one though of course i read all he wrote but i recently re-read the Prince.

CAn't say i've ever read it, Crispy, though i have heard of the Art of War by Sun Tzu (Ancient China is one of my favourite eras, along with Communist Russia for some wierd reason...)
