The Art of War
By: Sun Tzu
Paperback Edition
Capturing the literary quality of The Art of War--its lucid, epigrammatic, almost poetic style--as well as its philosophical and strategic content, John Minford's new translation presents the core text in two different formats. First, the unadorned thirteen chapters allow readers to form their own first impressions of the ancient words of wisdom ascribed to Sun-tzu. Then the same text appears with extensive running commentary from the canon of traditional Chinese commentators and others, providing context and subtext to the work.
