A unique presentation of Zhuge Liang's strategies,
By
This review is from: Sixteen Strategies of Zhuge Liang (Paperback)
One thing I enjoy about AsiaPac's books--they're not quite like anything else on the market. 16 of Zhuge Liang's greatest strategies / philosophies are boiled down into an easy-to-access, unique presentation. Rather than throw a thick text bogged down by philosophical passages, the Wang Xuan Ming presents the concepts with cute, quirky illustrations in comic book format. Some of the illustrations are amusing and some are silly, but it gets the more high-brow points across quickly and easily. If you're looking for a deep, rich book on Zhuge Liang, this isn't the best title, however. It presents bare bones concepts with illustrations--but doesn't delve into his deeper works, or his actual phrases (the texts are paraphrased). If you need solid text and meat, try the Shambala Dragons edition of "Mastering the Art of War" which includes a translation of some of Zhuge's scrolls. As for the 16 Strategies of Zhuge Liang, I own it, enjoy its offbeat humor and quirkiness, and would recommend it to collectors of Romance of the Three Kingdoms related books. It may be the only comic book Philosophy 101 course you'll ever find.
