The most comprehensive and accurate translation - By: , 15 Oct 2001 
This translation of Sun Tzu makes sense to the martial artist that practices the internal arts. It is a first class research. After reading five other translationsin two different languages I found what I was looking for.
The absolute BEST, most accurate version of Sun-tzu ever ! - By: , 07 Jul 1998 I've read all of the other English "translations" out there, & not one of them comes even close to this. Based on the ancient Linyi text recently foundin China,in this translation the author has created margin notesin an outline form so that all of Sun-tzu's words become completely logical. Unlike any other translation of a Chinese book that I've ever seen, Mr. Huang gives detailed proof using ancient Chinese sources for almost every sentence of his translation, so this version of Sun-tzu should be used a standard for all other Chinese translations to come. It reads not only fluidly but makes total sense, & would be an ideal handbook for both field marshals & marketing strategists. The introduction notes that military personnel from Colin Powell on down read & reviewed this book, & their contributions showin the accurate use of modern American military terms throughout the work. It's also written so well that every time I pick it up, I end up reading the whole thing. Mr. Huang is an amazing scholar of both ancient Chinese thought & English prose. All I can sayin conclusion is, "Thank you, Mr. Huang."
