I am looking for a book.

I am looking for this book in its complete and UNABRIDGED translation in English.

"The Art of War - Sun Tzu"

Everywhere I look someone has their freakin commentary on it etc. I dont want that. The only unabridged versions are Audio Books !!!!

Anyone able to point me in the right direction.

Well, I just happen to have a legal text copy. Zip file attached. Text version removed - format was terrible and hard to read. pdf file in later post is formatted properly.

It's a treasure for clever quotes, this book. I've read some of it before, a long time ago.

"Therefore, to gain a hundred victories in a hundred battles is not the highest excellence;
to subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of excellence."

That text version formatted wrong - it is hard to read, so I made it into a pdf which is much better. Attached.

That's it - short and sweet. True wisdom doesn't always need a lot of words for expression.

BTW, there are many, many translations, this one I just happened to have in my library of files. Some are better than others, and many are not only translations as AR suggested, but also have lengthy analyses as well.

I think the short length is also another lesson the book teaches.
