military science

I was extremely satisfied to have found this particular translation of one of my favorite books. Finally, I had found a version without the confusing and extraneous comments from other people. When I read The Art of War I want to read Sun Tzu's words and his alone. The included Chinese text makes this book even better. No longer will I or any other reader have to suffer through an inferior translation. I recommend this edition above all of the others found on the bookshelf. Buy it, read it and apply it. It's about time Sun Tzu's classic text got the translation it deserves. You will not be disappointed.

You can see why this book won the Independent Publisher's Award. Unbelievable quality at this price. The work involved in putting it together puts all other Art of War translation (and other translations of classics) to shame. The work sets a new standard for quality and accuracy.

The only translation that you can proudly give as a gift. It is just beautiful! You can also use this version of The Art of War to see all the inaccuracies in other translations. It shows each character of the Chinese characters with their English meanings. It includes a glossary at the back that explains the Chinese ideograms in more detail.
