I was hoping for a literal translation of the original Art of War but if you are looking for an interpretation then this is probalably a perfect read for you. I have always felt that The Art of War was akin to a bible or the teaching of Confucius and other historic philosophies where the reader is left to interpret it as they feel it best applies to them. I didn't finish the book and don't plan to as another's impression and representation will cloud my own opinion.

That being said, what I did read was thoughtful and interesting but not for me.
