Format:Paperback
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.

I love the Chinese script next to the translation. And there is lots of room for personal notetaking too! But the best of the book is the clear translation itself. It shows how to develop a winning strategy for nearly every aspect of your life.

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.
