Published in 1993, Roger Ames' book not only has the original Chinese text (a first -- mostly for decoration) but also an excellent translation of Sun Tzu. Like J. H. Huang's edition, it uses the latest discovered Sun Tzu text found in 1972. Of all the Sun Tzu's on the market, it has the most perfect balance between readability and accuracy. In general a fine edition, and one to buy and keep forever. One typographical error, but nothing major. We have seen the author speak and we must say he seems very well informed! Sonshi.com
