Summary
A modern introduction, tracing the origins of The Art of War and its historical and cultural importance, firmly grounds the reader in the context with which the oldest book on military strategy has survived the ages, as well as contemporary examples of its continued use.
The first section of this collectible edition contains The Art of War in English, without notes or commentary. This allows the listener to understand the teachings of Sun Tzu, without the distraction of footnotes or excessive comments.
The second section contains the complete annotated translation by Lionel Giles, restored by Sian Kim, along with Giles' translation notes, definitive critical commentary, and supplemental information from a broad range of sources. Written during the Victorian era, Giles' 1910 "Introduction" has also been included, containing the legend of "Sun Tzu and The Army of Concubines".
Although written in the sixth century BC, the teachings of Sun Tzu are still found today in the martial arts, legal doctrine, military schools, management seminars and pervasively throughout popular culture.

Great author but the performance wasn't good
Sun Tzu is a must read but not this version. Although the content is good as expected, the audiobook was painful to listen to. The recordings were poorly edited and included background noises, mouth noises, sentences repetitions of the reader and poor enunciation. I ended up focusing on the reading mistakes more than the content itself... not recommended.

The narrator is horrible
Very difficult to listen to with the annoying computer generated styled narration. Couldn’t finish as too painful.
