Book Reviews of The Art of War (Shambhala classics)

Book Review: Good but there are better translations
Summary: 4 Stars

I agree with fellow reviewers that this is a classic for any situation or need... However, given Cleary's history of mistranslations (such as The Book of the Five Rings) I believe that a translation from a modern author of Chinese origin (maybe even another westerner- but I doubt it) who is fluent in both English and Chinese would fare better with readers. (I've seen one - unfortunately I forgot the author's name)
