Insightful and appealing, a wonderful translation. - By: , 30 Dec 1999 
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 & his notes & comments are keenly developed.
I enjoyed this tremendously - it offers easy access to anyone who is new to Sun Tzu's classic & for those of us who are fammilliar with it, this editions offers inspiration guidance that I haven't foundin any of the other translations.
A Brilliant, Lucid, and Insightful - By: , 02 Mar 1999 R.L. Wing brings to life this classic chinese work of stragety. The work is divided for easy reading & each english passage is accompanied by the corresponding chinese calligraphy. The text reads smoothly & the lessons are presentedin a easy to understand format. However, the most impressive aspect of this translation is the author's commentary & 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 & social goals. This text is excellent for those familiar with the Art of War, as well as those just beggining their studies.
The Definitive Work. - By: , 25 Feb 1999 I've read 'em all. From Iacocca to Trump to Musashi to Machiavelli. Seems that they were all inspired to reinvent the wheel. Well, I got news baby, the wheel is here, & there's no better shape for rollin' than round! Be young, have fun, read Wing!
An excellent translation of an immortal classic. - By: , 21 Feb 1999 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.
