The above is from the Giles translation. It contains only the bare thirteen chapters without the commentary.

Sun Tzu is okay, I guess, but General Tso eats his lunch everyday!

America needs no enemies, we grow our own..
For socialism is the symptom of the disease...
The disease of the republic is democracy(Mob Rule)..
----------------------------
Democracy is the road to socialism. Karl Marx
Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. V.I. Lenin
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.- Karl Marx
**Note: America ignores socialism because it ignores the disease..

I have a copy of the Oxford University Press 1963 paperback edition (ISBN 0-19-501476-6) but I could not find an electronic version that could be used to extract the basic 13 chapters.
Another very interesting translation and reinterpretation is the one by J.H. Huang, a Quill publication, William Morrow & Co (ISBN 0-688-12400-3) It contains two column side-by-side translation and modern interpretation.
You may be interested in the treatise by Gen Tao Hanzuang (Peoples Liberation Army, retired) translated by Yuan Shibing, published by Main Street, a division of Sterling Publishing, New York (ISBN 1-4027-1291-X) This is a translation of a modern Chinese interpretation.

Von Clausewitz fleshes things out better. I suggest War Politics, and Power which condenses On War and removes the sections on 18th - 19th century battle tactics.

Planning a war?
Here’s a question: Was the “Art of War” penned before or after the Tao Te Ching?
