A lucid and crisp translation of a classic text, replete with an accessible introduction which provocatively invokes current domestic US politics, and with clarifying endnotes. Definitely purchasing for my library.

Very accessible translation of The Art of War. I had been meaning to read this for years but I couldn't find the translation that was easy enough to understand for an ESL speaker like me.

I read an earlier translation of this as a youth. This translation is more engaging and readable. I recommend it for fans of older translations and well as anyone that wants universal tips about life, like knowing yourself.

I had never read The Art of War so I am glad that I was finally able to read this book that has had such an impact worldwide. I found this translation to be very readable and easy to get through. The text and language is straightforward and on the surface it reads as an instruction for commanders at war but so much of it can be applied to everyday life and the decisions we make.
