Is there an authoritative translation of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War? Recommend one?

I want to read Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and I’ve looked up how many different translations there are and there are a lot of them.

Can you recommend one?
Is there one that is considered more literally translated, or authoritative?
I know there are several translations that interpret the writings to apply more to certain areas (Business, Law, Etc.), but I’m looking for the purest version I can find.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
someone help

the problem is that there are so many versions of the original in chinese dialects with so many people having had a hand in writing the theories – nobody knows who wrote exactly what so to get a “purest” version is impossible.

Traditional histories recount that the first emperor of a unified China, Qin Shi Huang, considered the book invaluable in ending the Age of Warring States. The Art of War was introduced in Japan c. AD 760, and the book quickly became popular among Japanese generals. The work also significantly influenced the unification of Japan. Mastery of its teachings was honored among the samurai, and its teachings were both exhorted and exemplified by influential daimyo and shoguns, as this statue in Japan depicts his likeness.Historians popularly recount how French emperor Napoleon studied Suns military writings and used them to successfully wage war against the rest of Europe.
