Two classic works of military strategy that shaped the way we think about warfare: The Art of War by Sun Tzu and On War by 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's On War had been blended with and balanced by a knowledge of Sun Tzu's The Art of War."--B. H. Liddel Hart

For two thousand years, Sun Tzu's The Art of War has 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 War is the magnum opus of the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars.

Now these two great minds come together in a single volume that also features an introduction by esteemed military writer Ralph Peters and the Modern Library War Series introduction by Caleb Carr, New York Times bestselling author of The Alienist.

(The cover and text refer to The Art of War as The Art of Warfare, an alternate translation of the title.)

About the Author
Sun Tzu lived in China in the fourth century B.C., serving as a court minister during the "Warring States" period. He delivered his pronouncements about war over the course of his career, but his words were recorded by other hands.

Karl Von Clausewitz (1780-1831) was a Prussian soldier who fought in the Moscow campaigns of 1812 and 1813. He spent over a dozen years writing On War, dying before his book saw publication in 1832.

Ralph Peters is a retired army officer and the author of a noted book on strategy, Fighting for the Future: Will American Triumph? He is also the author of the novels The Devil's Garden and Traitor.
