About this listen

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Aidan Gillen - who has learned a thing or two about strategy through his roles as skilled manipulator Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish (Game of Thrones) and ambitious politician Tommy Carcetti (The Wire) - brilliantly performs this ancient classic. His experience in portraying insightful and, at times, cunning characters makes him a natural fit for this ancient collection of battlefield epigrams whose influence has grown tremendously in the modern world.

Average and Old. Presentation was up to the mark. Music of drums was exhilarating. Story line was not so impressive.

Its a kind of summary of a great book. Good to get an insight of a great book. But, you must read the full version.

Listen for Aiden Gillen

Plot is interesting although the content no longer holds the same importance at the time it was written. I would still recommend a Jawaan (Soldier) to read it once. Gillen's performance was the best.
