5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant, Lucid, and Insightful, 1 Mar 1999
By A Customer
R.L. Wing brings to life this classic chinese work of stragety. The work is divided for easy reading and each english passage is accompanied by the corresponding chinese calligraphy. The text reads smoothly and the lessons are presented in a easy to understand format. However, the most impressive aspect of this translation is the author's commentary and insights into the application of the tenets of stragety into every day life. Wing systematicly explores the effectivness of the use of stragety in accomplishing personal and social goals. This text is excellent for those familiar with the Art of War, as well as those just beggining their studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and appealing, a wonderful translation., 30 Dec 1999
By A Customer
R.L. Wing's work with this classic is very refreshing. He examines the wider implications of the text, not restricting the reader to a purely millitaristic interpretation. Of course he provides a historical basis for this approach and his notes and comments are keenly developed.

I enjoyed this tremendously - it offers easy access to anyone who is new to Sun Tzu's classic and for those of us who are fammilliar with it, this editions offers inspiration guidance that I haven't found in any of the other translations.

4.0 out of 5 stars A well-defined interpretation of Sun Tzu's Classic work, 16 May 1998
By A Customer
Why isn't it called the "Art of War?" Because Wing hits on a point missed by most translations. Sun Tzu's objective in writing the classic book was, as Wing puts it, "The achievement of triumph through tactical positioning, without resorting to battle."

The book is divided as the original. Brief, to the point, and put forth in such a way to invite the reader to contemplate each section, with comments by the author as to how it relates to different levels of conflict...environmental, interpersonal, between leaders, and within ones self. This structure allows the reader to use this book as both discovery and reminder. I've carried the book around for years, using it to remind me how to deal with situations.

I've read several versions of "the Art of War," and value this one the most. It's highly recommended, and very useful, both personally and professionally.
