No sorry, I bought the paperback version off of amazon. I tried searching real quick for a link, but I couldn't find one. If you're interested in buying it here's the one that I bought:

Code: [Select]
http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-War-History-Warfare/dp/081331951X

Mind you, this isn't a book about a certain war, this is a book written by a Chinese general on how to wage/plan/fight/win one. It's more of a philosophical/psychological strategy book. It's definitely a good read though.

Oh yeah man I know it isnt about a specific war, i just been interested in reading that book 4 awhile. lol

I am currently reading the King James Version Bible, and Fascinating Womanhood. Not that it pertains to anyone here.

Endgame by Derrick Jensen. For those of you who are revolutionaries you should give it a read. Also a PDF on linux shell scripting. I hate reading books on the computer but I'm poor as fuck.

EDIT: @G man - Here's your pdf on The Art of War. The first result should be good. m0rph maybe you want to take a look at it and tell us if that is the full book. Sometimes pdfs leave out the last couple chapters....or half the book.

Anyway here you go:

PS - Sorry to momentarily derail the conversation. Continue.

EDIT AGAIN: Nvm, it is the full book your good to go.

"A programmer’s greatest enemy isn’t the tools or the boss or the artists or the design or the legacy code or the third party code or the API or the OS. A programmer’s greatest enemy is getting stuck.
Therefore a crucial step to becoming a better programmer is learning how to avoid getting stuck, to recognize when you’re stuck, and to get unstuck." -Jeff Wofford

Do you have the pdf?

Yes I do since ~6h after the release :-)

This book really gives a look in to the live of a seal. It's not alot about tactics but he talks a lot about becoming devgru and how the people are on that level. specially that they all are human beeings. Also about lessons learned and stuff. And ofc a big part is about the osama raid. A very good read if you are into special operations and stuff. You notice that it is probably the truth. Specially if you compare it to "bravo two zero" thats just a big fiction story about truth happenings.
