The art of war, my personal opinion
This book was my great interest, since much of the book is related to the subject, this book is made up of 13 interesting chapters, in the first chapter named "about evaluation" he mentions an author named Sun Tzu,That expresses that speaking of war is of great importance to the State, this means that the domain of life and death is of great importance for the path of survival or the loss of an empire, that not to reflectIn an adequate and correct way it is to give a result to proof of a guilty indifference or the loss of what is most dear to us.
This means that to know how to assess in an adequate way we must take five fundamental factors into consideration, the first of them is doctrine, which means that it is everything that refers to the harmony of the people with the ruler without having fear or running Some risk or danger, the second is the time, since it refers to the night and day, as well as the cold and the heat and the change of the stations, the third is the land, since it refers to the extension or Distance such as the open field or certain narrow places to carry out adequate survival, the command that is another factors refers to certain qualities such as wisdom, sincerity, courage and discipline, as the last and finally we have as a factor to the discipline , which is the certain regulation, organization, of ranges of the military, after being analyzed each of the five fundamental factors to have an adequate way of knowing how to value r Cabo certain comparisons between them, and determine what war is.
Chapter two called "about the initiation of the action" makes us mention of a certain saying that caught my attention and that in turn in today’s life is very true "those who kill iron, Iron die" this wants thissay that bad people even have the best wise men, in the end they will not be able to have a good result or that things go well as they expected.
It also tells us what the battle is, which makes us mention that once it is started and even if you are winning after a certain time to continue continuing, you will discourage your troops and embed your sword, this means that if it is maintained.For an excessive time in campaign or battle, all supplies will end, within the same approach it makes us know that weapons are of bad luck, since using them can generate calamities, by this type of factors it has reached theconclusion that military operations are in a very clumsy and sudden way, but it has never been seen that an expert in war art kept in an excessive period of campaign, mainly because it is not a very convenient factor for the country to let amilitary extends for a long time.
He also explains that those who use military media with expertise do not activate their troops twice, this means that the people should not be mobilized more than once per campaign.
Also mention that when a country is impoverished by military operations, it is due to lack of transport by provision from a distant place, those who live near the military may make their crops at high prices, since when resources and power are exhaustedTaxes come together or meet under pressure, since the certain inhabitants are the fundamental and importance basis for the country and food is the fundamental basis to obtain happiness.
Chapter three called "on the propositions of victory and defeat" within this what most caught the attention of this chapter was that a general said that practicing martial arts and calculating the force resulted for the enemy army to loseHis mood and direction, this referred to winning without passing a state of violence, the upper warriors attack while the enemies are executing their plans.
Another of the parts that caught my attention was where an emperor said that "fighting for victory against naked swords is not a good general" this means that the worst of the strategies was to attack a city, surrounding a cityIt was the one that had as a last option or resource.
Chapter four mentioned the measure in the disposal of the media, which spoke of the invincibility of the vulnerability of the ancient warriors, also talks about defense as well as situations and their experts, such as winning a battle, likewiseWithin the fifth chapter called "about firmness", he spoke about the effect of forces, since force was an energy accumulated in people who were able to overcome the enemy creating a favorable perception, there was also talk about the implementation of orthodox methodsor heterodox, since they were used and used as cycles, and there were two types of attacks in battle the extraordinary by surprise and ordinary direct.
In relation to chapter six “on the full and empty” the objective of this chapter is to show us the methods to confuse and disturb the enemy to see the reaction obtained, after observing the reaction and being assimilated, it will be reacts continuously, so that you can find out what situations it means to life and death, this will serve to find out its strong point and weak points, the certain formation of the army is to reach the non -form.
Chapter seven mentions “about the direct and indirect confrontation” this was a rule implemented for the use of the army, which had as its purpose and challenge to quickly mobilize the army and obtain advantages, since a military force is used according to theplanned strategy;Chapter number eight called "about the nine changes" which explained that each military operation was under the command of a civil ruler, where the generals commit to death, but do not cling to the hope of surviving, they act in a formrational and realistic without being carried out by their emotions, when they see the opportunity do not waste time, but otherwise they keep the doors closed, their action and not action are issues of strategies and cannot remain angry.
Chapter nine “on the distribution of the media“ within this chapter, it was implied that the military had certain plans and strategies implemented in an advantageous way to win, the advantage in a certain operation is to take advantage of certain factors and methods or means or means or meansTaken to take advantage of factors that benefit land, he also explains when they are in citations where orders are not as clear and precise, when the troops do not understand them, when orders are not reasonable and is responsible for specifically analyzing the leader and thecluster.
Chapter Ten "On the topology" I understood that they tell us about the configuration of the land can be support for the army, also tells us about the figure when the generals are weak and lack authority, of weak soldiers to the controls of a strong authority, as well as on responsibility;Within the eleven chapter, it speaks about the nine classes of land such as the land of dispersion, light terrain, a struggle, intersection land, dispersion terrain, dispersion terrain, accessible terrain, terrain surrounded by three lands, serve to determine theWar result.
Chapter twelve talks about the art of attacking on fire where everything talks about the five forms of attacks using fire such as, burn people, supplies, qualification, warehouses, weapons. And finally the thirteen chapter tells us about "Concord and Discord" this knowledge depends on noble agents, and refers to us that there are five kinds of negative spies and internal spy, the double agent, the liquidal spy, and to end thefloating spy.
In my conclusion it is an excellent book where it shares different aspect and a wide analysis within reading, different reasoning, it is a book that shares military strategies and speaks of an old military field, made by Sun Tzu, and consists of 13 chaptersWhich in each chapter uses different aspects of the war, I thought it was a very interesting book that I could keep and that I would recommend and would read again.
