    Has anyone read it?
    is it any good or is it a task to get through?

    Very short! Check Project Gutenburg.

    It a good book, but you have to bear in mind both the time and culture it was written in.

    I'm a little dubious of "The Art of War for Businessmen" editions. Never read one though, so I can't really give an opinion.

    There is probably "The Art of War for Dummies" out there too, but it's a thought that chills me too much for me to risk finding out...

    It's worth reading, but don't expect it to offer up its secrets willingly.

    it has interesting snatches, you could read it in about an hour...

    most of it is just common sense expressed very succinctly...

    Is that anything like "The Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun"?

    Such a book exists!
