I read the Chinese version with English translation. I was most
impressed with this observation: that winning every war is not the best
scenario; the most ideal scenario is where one manages to repel an enemy
without fighting. The other theory I found convincing is that a shrewd
fighter would choose his men wisely and would know how to ride the
prevailing situation. Most of the contents would seem to be practical
common sense.
The keynote of the first chapter ~ all warfare is
based on deception ~ seems to tally with the last chapter, which is
about the use of spies.
