Summary: Gold trader looking for answers!
Review: I am the author of the book Futures For Small Speculators and Single Stock Futures For Small Speculators as well as the president of Liverpoolgroup.com. Our focus is in the futures, commodities, and option business. We trade oil, cattle, gold, currency etc. And each one of our employees is an "independent" contractor. The problem with that is the fact that often times this very independent entrepreneurial group has a hard time balancing trading with finding clients. Since many of us in the office have a martial arts background I bought a case of this version for the office. Everyone loved it and felt that Sun Tzu inspired them. Mr.Kaufman's use of the word "warlord" instead of "general or emperor, etc." really resonated with the brokers. They felt that the markets were a battlezone and they were the "warlords" attempting to tame it. I am impressed that this book was such a moral booster. I will be checking out some of Mr.Kaufman's other works.

Summary: work blindness?
Review: I expected more; I exepect a "this the Sun-Tzu paragraph; this is how and why is applied to martial arts".
It has good content, and reflects the Sun Tzu work and martial arts.. in a dissasociated way. I found the book like the author says: I read the book of Sun-Tzu, lets take the subject of each of the 13 books, and let me develop it from a martial view.

Esperaba m‡s. Esperaba un "este es la frase de Sun-Tzu; esto es como y por qŽ se aplica a las artes marciales".
Tine buen contenido, y si relaciona el trabajo de Sun Tzu con las artes marciales.. en forma disasociada. EncontrÂŽ el libro como si el autor hubiese dicho: Le' el libro de Sun-Tzu, ahora tomemos cada uno de los temas de cada libro, y desarrollemoslo cada uno desde el punto de vista marcial.

Summary: "Very basic," is an accomplishment. - a military reader.
Review: I have a lot different versions and this one clears the smoke from the poetic nature of the others. It is straight forward and well written. Five Rings and this book are (how to) manuels for coping with competition and people. A must read to further the understanding of Sun's work.

Summary: Leader of the Species
Review: Stephen F. Kaufman does an excellent job explaining the brutal and merciless strategies of war. Like any warlord, Kaufman refrains from the usage of unnecessary metaphors and allegories, and makes a deliberate attempt to explain Sun Tzu's classic as bluntly as possible. Definitely a guide for any warrior attempting to achieve and maintain an alpha male/female ranking in society.

Summary: THE ART OF WAR
Review: This is an excellent text on military strategy and use of tactics to control people. It is over 2500 years old and is still relevant today. It is a book studied world wide by most military forces and some police agencies. As a police officer survival skills instructor I teach many of Sun Tzu's techniques and tacics for dealing with crowd control and riots. It is also serves some purpose as a practical guide for use in self-defense training. Author has done a simple and effective job translating and presenting the ideas and concepts of Sun Tzu.
