Can anyone recommend a good translation of Sun Tzu's The Art of War?

I want to expand my library and want to get a physical copy. I'm looking for a copy that's not only a good translation but maybe also has some good commentary too.

Same question for The Book of Five Rings.

(bonus points if both books are published in the same series - I like my shelves to look neat)

Thanks in advance :)

Thomas Cleary has the best translation of Five Rings I've found to date. I've checked thru a few and his was top notch.

I'll have to check and see what my current copy of Art is War is.

James Clavell has the best English translation for me,

my favorite quote is; "Don't Fight a Battle until it is already Won". Enjoy.

Look to the far mountain and see all.
