It literally took me years of searching to figure out what book this was! Easily one of my all-time favorite books from childhood.

Giles interpolation of Chinese commentators and both Chinese and Western examples greatly aid in clarifying, expanding, and even sometimes challenging Sun Tzu's assessment of the Art of War, to the great benefit of the reader.

An absolutely incredible look into the human mind and the attempt to grasp things beyond human understanding.

This is the first book I've read in one sitting since 2018. It's that compelling.

Slogs a bit in the middle, but overall deeply fascinating.

Needlessly long. Almost nothing happens. There are writers who can make five pages of picking out dresses interesting. Robert Jordan, it seems, was not one of them.
