" The Art of War" translations?

[SenecaJim]

Sorry if this is a repeat, did search under author and title to no avail. I read this way back when and recently felt like reading it again. Any reco's on which translation is best?

LOL. Which translator I guess I should say. Ames, Giles, etc.

I peronally liked the Denma version. I have another translation laying around here, but i can't find it.... There is also the Tournament Poker & The Art Of War [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[BluffTHIS!]

I have several different translations and the one I have always liked best is by Brig. Gen. Samuel Griffith, USMC. It has a forward by B.H. Liddell Hart. Cleary's translation along with those of two other ancilliary works in Shambala's series on Classics of Strategy and Counsel is next IMO. And the one by James Clavell blows. The benefit of the Giles translation is that you can find it free on the net.
