A review by mrbrownsays
The Art of War by Sun Tzu

3.0

My translation got in the way of my enjoyment of the book. The flow of the advice was interrupted by very detailed explanations of the chosen interpretation. If I had a physical copy perhaps these could have been ignored as footnotes. Of course the translation history is important for understanding the text but it seems written to have had a certain rhetorical flow that was completely lost.
