Critics Review
“There is no doubt that J. H. Huang’s new translation of Sun Tzu will be valuable to anyone who is a student of The Art of War. It will be used by scholars for years to come.”
“Huang’s version pulls no punches… .He offers a unified interpretation of the text… . Mr. Huang’s translation is literal and spare, reflecting the brevity of classical Chinese, but he fills the margins with extensive running commentary to guide the reader through his own understanding of the text’s meaning… . Mr. Huang provides detailed classical citations to support his argument for the book’s correct meaning.” — Wall Street Journal
