Review of "Sun Tzu's The art of war" on 'Goodreads'

The Art of War is so ingrained into popular culture, both directly and applied as a derivative to non-war topics like business, that by the time I actually read this cover to cover, I knew most of the content. I know that the book was not intended to be broken down into simple, abstract philosophies on conflict, but that's how most people read it. I gained no new insights, but recognize it's influence. 3 stars.
