I read this book about 12yrs back, and was completely underwhelmed by it.
A lot of stuff in it is highly specific (in my view) - and other areas seem commonsense. I'm amazed that a rash of translations have just come out.. I suppose it is akin to the "book of five rings" (Musashi) was in the 80s.
The Chinese though, also have something called the 36 strategies (from memory). These look a lot more general.. and useful.
