The Art of War Deluxe (3 Disks) This version integrates the comments and explanations of 2500 years of China's most respected experts on Sun Tzu's text seamlessly into the audiobook. It "fills in the blanks" and clarifies the military vocabulary, concepts, and strategies within the text that taken at face value can easily be misunderstood. If you are serious about fully understanding all the concepts and will take the time and effort to listen to it several times - We suggest the Deluxe 3 disk version. Sun Tzu wrote in a terse, somewhat abstract style, and, of course, wrote of vastly different times and conditions (500 BC China). The integrated commentary and explanations on the 3 disk set can greatly help clarify these aspects of Sun Tzu's Art of War. The comments and explanations were very carefully integrated to clarify and enhance without disrupting, the flow and comprehension of Sun Tzu's text. When you hear Sun Tzu talking about some obscure term or concept you will not be lost. Incredibly there are other versions that never explain some critical and counter intuitive and ambiguous writings - you can only take your chances and guess. Some of The Art of War if taken literally would be an inaccurate interpretation and potentially disastrous. Sun Tzu wrote in a somewhat abstract, poetic style assuming that the reader was familiar with military and cultural matters as it related to 500 BC China.
