The pithiness of certain parts of the text, its aphoristic quality, presents an exceptionally difficult challenge. Because Nylan has a deep understanding of the social and cultural milieu that produced Sun Tzu’s treatise, she has created an English-language version that is accessible while retaining the literary beauty of the original. Her introduction and supporting materials are very helpful to the reader, and I would expect that this version will become the standard one in the field.” — Dennis Washburn, Dartmouth College and translator of “Michael Nylan’s masterful translation of brings historical depth to our understanding of the classic and also illuminates its broad significance for our world today.” — Wai-yee Li, Harvard University
