Summary
Details

Two classicworksof military strategy that shaped the way we think about warfare-The Art of Warby Sun Tzu andOn Warby Karl von Clausewitz, together in one volume

""Civilization might have been spared much of the damage suffered in the world wars . . . if the influence of Clausewitz'sOn Warhad been blended with and balanced by a knowledge of Sun Tzu'sThe Art of War.""-B. H. Liddel Hart

For two thousand years, Sun Tzu'sThe Art of Warhas been 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.""On Waris the magnum opus of the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars.

Now these two greatmindscome together in asingle volumethat also features an introduction by esteemed military writer Ralph Petersand the Modern Library War Series introduction by Caleb Carr,New York Timesbestselling author ofThe Alienist.
