The Book of War: Includes the Art of War by Sun Tzu & on War by Karl Von Clausewitz Paperback - 2000
by Sun-Tzu; Carl Von Clausewitz; Introduction by Ralph Peters
Two famous books on war are combined in one volume: Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" and Carl von Clausewitz's "On War." These two great military minds are made to share one tent--a major contribution to the field of military history.
First line
Master Sun said: War is a vital matter of state.
From the jacket flap
Civilization might have been spared much of the damage suffered in the world wars this century if the influence of Clausewitz's "On War had been blended with and balanced by a knowledge of Sun-tzu's "The Art of Warfare. --B.H. Liddel Hart
For two thousand years, Sun-tzu's The Art of Warfare was the indispensable volume of warcraft. Although his work is the first known analysis of war and warfare, Sun-tzu struck upon a thoroughly modern concept: "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." Karl von Clausewitz, the canny military theorist who famously declared that war is a continuation of politics by other means, also claims paternity of the notion "total war." His is the magnum opus of the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic vars. Now these two great military minds are made to share the same tent, metaphorically speaking, in The Book of War. What a bivouac it is, and what a conversation into the night.
Military writer Ralph Peters has written a new Introduction for this Modern Library edition.
