Summary: Thanks for the news, neighbor!
Comment: And for the rest of you, the Giles translation is trash! Although he deserves some credit for his early work (this edition predates Griffith's), it is a shoddy attempt to one-up an EARLIER attempt by another translator. And so I say...
CAVEAT EMPTOR!

Summary: Astoundingly insightful, even after 2000+ years
Comment: Written long before MBA programmes and graduate schools of management were formed, this book is often considered THE authority on managing people and competitive situations. Sun Tzu was a remarkably insightful man, who seems to have captured the psychology of combat and running a team. So many of the principles he espouses are applicable in civilian life that it is worth reading by anybody managing people. There are sections in the book that deal very specifically with fighting (especially the discussions on terrain), but many of the other chapters could replace the word 'army' with 'team' and the meaning would be the same. Whilst many of the lessons appear simplistic and obvious, experience tells us that sometimes common sense is not so common. Sometimes concepts need to be presented in a simplified fashion for their full power to be revealed. I think that any person either training to be a leader or is already one (military or civilian) should read this book and ponder it's meaning.

Summary: This is not the complete text
Comment: The Griffith translation is my favorite for many reasons: The author's own knowledge of war, the commentaries, etc. However, Amazon has really screwed up on this one. Despite how it is noted, this is NOT the Griffith translation, this is the Giles translation, which is in the public domain and available for free at several places on the web. Amazon, practicing the art of deception?
