The Art of War
The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise attributed to Sun Tzu, a high-ranking military general, strategist and tactician. The text is composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare. It is commonly known to be the definitive work on military strategy and tactics of its time.
The Art of War has had a lasting influence on both Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond.
On War
On War is a book on war and military strategy by Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz (1780–1831), written mostly after the Napoleonic wars, between 1816 and 1830, and published posthumously by his wife Marie von Brühl in 1832.
On War is one of the most important treatises on political-military analysis and strategy ever written, and remains both controversial and an influence on strategic thinking.
The Prince
The Prince (Italian: Il Principe) is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli.
The Prince is arguably the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. At the time this was in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines on politics and ethics.
