Perfect for West Point Student

A classic and a perfect gift for any young person just accepted by one of our outstanding military academies. Not a good book for "lefties".

Poor Quality Edition

I bought the book anticipating a concise, un-frilled version of the classic. Upon opening to the first page, I immediately found a typo. Thereupon I soon found several errors in translation and overall poor publishing. A WASTE OF MONEY.

Not very impressed.

This is not the full works of Sun Tzu, but an outline version. Kind of like cliffnotes. However, the book isn't bad for a quick read to get the basic idea of Sun Tzu's writings.
