The Art of War
by Sun Tzu
Another classic book. This book is brief but comprehensive, giving a lot of information in a few words. I started this book a couple of months back. But took me this month to finish it.
2500 years ago, all levels of military have used the teaching on Sun Tzu to warfare. Civilization has adapted these teachings for use in politics, business and everyday life. The Art of War is a book which teaches you to gain advantage of opponents in the boardroom and battlefield alike.
Rating: I didn't understand the content enough to rate.

by Perumal Murugan, Translated by Kalyan Raman
