Book Synopsis
For the first time in any modern language, a female scholar and translator re-imagines The Art of War.

Trade Review
"Nylan’s translation of “The Art of War,” however, is marvelously pointy and plainspoken. Each sentence is a struck match... The language in “The Art of War” is vivid, and Nylan finds a tone to capture it." -- The International New York Times
"This small volume is a taster for a forthcoming full-scale Norton Critical Edition containing a range of historical and analytical essays, and presents a fresh, distinctive and original rendition of the much-parsed classic... the text is presented in a form that is clear and readily understood and at the same time inexhaustibly rich in meaning." -- New Statesman
