LostVampire: Thomas Watson becomes a vampire during the Civil War. The YA fantasy fiction novel NOT SAFE FOR VAMPIRES is a good read. It is only 128 pages, but it is not light reading, You really have to follow the beginning - once you understand the style of writing (there are flashback scenes) you will really enjoy the journey. The story is filled with history. For example, Africatown and the Clotilde ship are a real part of history (I googled it). Also, the character Captain Thomas Watson was really a soldier for the Union Army. I believe you will enjoy this book and add it to your library as well.… (mere)
Me encanta como el autor describe y relata al milímetro cada posibilidad dentro de un enfrentamiento. Fue de los primero libros sobre guerra que leí y lo disfruté muchísimo. ( )
Somewhat hilariously literal. I'm not sure why this is still used as such a popular business and strategy book. Praise for being extremely clear and concise, but criticism for stating the obvious while seeming to be willfully ignorant of external factors with advice along the lines of "Don't make any mistakes and you will win." WELL THANKS. NEVER WOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT MYSELF. ( )
I listened to the audible version by Aidan Gillen. He does an phenomenal job reading this. I've listened to this book 3 times. It's more of a guidebook to pick up and read sections as needed vs sitting down and listening/reading through the whole book. ( )
Sun Tzuova knjiga Umeće ratovanja, je jedno od najznačajnijih klasičnih kineskih dela.
Ova knjiga ne sadrži ni jednu zastarelu maksimu ili nejasno uputstvo. Najbolje je pobediti bez borbe, rekao je Sun Tzu. Za njega je rat bio sastavni deo života.
Pažljivo pročitajte ovu knjigu, i sve savremene knjige koje govore o upravljanju državom više vam se neće činiti dostojne pažnje.
Ralph Sawyer has produced a lively translation, with a historical essay and explanatory notes, of Sun-tzu’s classic work. [...] Sun-tzu has nothing to teach us about the technological aspects of war or the logistics required to feed a modern army, and his work obviously cannot speak to certain complex political relations between modern nations. But Sun-tzu’s book has much value, for it says a lot about how a commander should approach his enemy, how he should decide to attack or to retreat, how to outsmart an enemy, and what it takes to be victorious. He presents his ideas in a logical, principled way that is consistent with his deeper philosophy of nature.

A battle that cannot be won is not worth fighting.
All warfare is based on deception.
If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt.

' ... Therefore, an intelligent prince follows the existing conditions of order and so makes the order complete, with the result that the empire will enjoy great order.'
Du Mu: It will not do for the army to act without knowing the opponent's condition, and to know the opponent's condition is impossible without espionage. [Thomas Cleary's Translation]
Hence, only a Brilliant Ruler and an Excellent Leader, Who are able to conduct their intelligence with superiority and cleverness, Are certain to achieve great results. The Entire Force relies on this for every move.
A wise ruler or an able general must select only the most intelligent men to act as his spies and then he will be sure of achieving great things. This is a necessity of war, and an army depends on it to act. [Version translated by James Trapp]
