I’d tell ya, but then I’d have to defeat you on the battlefield. Which I could do, BTW ;)
I have the 2002 edition published by Shambhala. It’s a direct translation, no one else’s comments/opinions other than Sun Tzu.
But, check out what the people at http://www.victoryoverwar.com have to say, too.
Thank you. I’ll take a look at that.
I realized Saturday night that absolutely everything my son is into involves strategy. I may as well run with it.
The Art of War
Sun Tzu
Samuel B. Griffith
is my favorite... it has several opinions plus his own. Pure translation might be nice but it can also be confusing.

I have the same edition and I like it. I have several other editions, too, with commentaries by others but frankly I think what Sun Tzu says doesn’t really require too much commentary, neither does it benefit therefrom.
Some things are just fine left as they are.
