On War is the West's premier work on the philosophy of war. Other soldiers before him had written treatises on various military subjects but none undertook a great philosophical examination of war on the scale of Clausewitz's. On War is considered to be the first modern book of military strategy. This is due mainly to Clausewitz' integration of political social and economic issues as some of the most important factors in deciding the outcomes of a war. It is one of the most important treatises on strategy ever written and continues to be required reading at many military academies.Niccolo Machiavelli considered this book his greatest achievement. Here you will learn how to recruit train motivate and discipline an army. You will learn the difference between strategy and tactics. Machiavelli does a masterful job of breaking down and analyzing historic battles. This book of military knowledge belongs alongside Sun-Tzu and Clausewitz on every book shelf.Antoine-Henri Jomini was the most celebrated writer on the Napoleonic art of war. Jomini was present at most of the most important battles of the Napoleonic Wars. His writing therefore is the most authoritative on the subject. "The art of war as generally considered consists of five purely military branches -viz.: Strategy Grand Tactics Logistics Engineering and Tactics. A sixth and essential branch hitherto unrecognized might be termed Diplomacy in its relation to War. Although this branch is more naturally and intimately connected with the profession of a statesman than with that of a soldier it cannot be denied that if it be useless to a subordinate general it is indispensable to every general commanding an army." -Antoine-Henri Jomini
