Summary: You don't have to be a general to learn from it.
Comment: The Art of War, a military treatise written by Sun Tzu around 500 B.C. in ancient China, teaches many good lessons to anyone who will ever have to command a group of people, in the workplace, in school, or on the battlefield. This is the only translation I have read, and it is easy to understand without being boring, so I assume that it is a good translation. A very useful and interesting book.

Summary: The classic English text of "The art of war"
Comment: This was the first worthwhile translation of The art of war into English, and in many ways it remains the best. Certainly it has been the most influential. Even after a dozen other translations had appeared, Dr Joseph Needham still considered this the "standard" version in English. (Science and civilisation in China v.6, 1996.) In fact this translation is so important that the first edition (1910) has reached twelve thousand dollars in the rare-book market. (Jaydillon com, 2003.) If you're serious about Sun Tzu, then this is the version you want.
