The best translation I've found April 4, 2004
Warren King (Jersey City, NJ)
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
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.
One of the Best Books of 2003! June 24, 2003

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.
Beautiful Translation of a Great Book! June 24, 2003

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.
A supremely accurate bilingual edition of Sun Tzu's classic June 19, 2003
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Ably translated into English by Gary Gagliardi, Sun Tzu's The Art of War Plus The Ancient Chinese Revealed is a supremely accurate bilingual edition of Sun Tzu's classic guide to military strategy. Each two-page spread features the translated lines into English on one side, and the Chinese idiograms with their meanings on the others, so that dedicated readers can readily understand the range of meaning in the original text. The definitive version of The Art of War for those English speakers who truly want to thoroughly understand it, the Clearbridge Publishing's edition of Sun Tzu's The Art Of War would make a welcome addition to any personal, academic, or public library collection.
It just gets better! June 16, 2003

Being a long time fan, I already had a copy of this authors pre-ceeding paperpack on my shelves at home. I thought that this would be just a reissue of the same contents - however much to my delighted surprise, this version has further refined the translation, making it even more meaningful for me. Before I purchased this one - I compared it with similar titles on the shelf - and this one still stands head and shoulders above the rest.
