Clausewitz: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)

Michael Howard

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

Cliff Notes to Clausewitz
Clausewitz is notoriously difficult for the novice to master -- some would argue that no one has ever entirely "mastered" Clausewitz. Be that as it may, a legion of frustrated amateur strategists can attest to the difficulty of picking up Clausewitz's "On War" and ...

Masters of War: Classical Strategic Thought

Michael Handel

Frank Cass, 2000

Ideal for the academic,
is how I would describe Handel's 'Masters of War'. This however should not deter the keen reader from purchasing the book as it is indeed a wonderful, clear and interesting read. In the course of his analysis, Handel sets out to compare and contrast the different ...

The Transformation of War: The Most Radical Reinterpretation of Armed Conflict Since Clausewitz

Martin Van Creveld

Free Press, 1991

Amazing!!!
When I finished reading this book I could hardly believe that a writer could prophesize the future war events in such a clear way. Van Creveld's thesis is that war as we know it in the last 3,5 centuries (waged between states and organized armies) has reached its end ...

Sun-Tzu

Modern Library, 2000

Interesting mix: Unabridged Clausewitz and Sun Tzu

The Best Book on Clausewitzian Theory I Have Reviewed So Far
