Reader comments

I especially like the story about Gou Jian, King of Yue, but whether "sleeping on fuel and tasting gall" is true remains to be verified. The author's narrative is very rigorous and he also quotes many historical classics. In short, this is a good book that can not only increase knowledge but also stimulate thinking. I recommend it!
