The Essential Art of War Collection is comprised of four of the
worlds most important books ever written on military strategy. Sun
Tzu's The Art of War is the oldest text on military strategy in
existence. Written around the year 512 BC the book has been widely
read and quoted by political and military leaders and more modernly
by many businessmen and investors, most notably Gordon Gekko
(Michael Douglas) in Oliver Stone's 1987 movie Wall Street. The Art
of War was written in socratic dialogue. It's purpose is "To honor
and reward virtu, not to have contempt for poverty, to esteem the
modes and orders of military discipline, to constrain citizens to
love one another, to live without factions, to esteem less the
private than the public good." To these ends, Machiavelli notes in
his preface, the military is like the roof of a palazzo protecting
the contents. On War is one of the most important books on the
subject of war and military tactics & strategy ever written.
Carl Philipp Gottlieb von Clausewitz was a Prussian soldier,
military historian and military theorist who's Vom Kriege (On War)
has influenced military leaders for two centuries. Antoine-Henri
Jomini's The Art of War is the foremost writing on Napoleonic
warfare and military tactics and strategy ever written.
