Art Of War By Suntzu and Other Military Treatises
Topic started by Traveller (@ globalb3.citicorp.com) on Tue Jul 31 15:01:11 .
The Classical Treatises on Military are
1. Art Of War By Suntzu.
2. Book of 5 Rings.
3. The Prince By Machiavelli.
These treatises are used by the American Business Strategists for New Projects.
Please tell me whether there are any more
Classics.
Bye,
Traveler

Arthashastra by Chanakya aka Kautilya may also qualify as a treatise on Rajathanthiram.

36 chinese strategies or something similar.
Try the unorthodox warrior by thomas cleary? this is a translation of more military strategy from japan/china. The campaigns of Napoleon by David Chandler.
Applications to business are merely gimmicks to make more $.

Traveller,
Since you listed The Prince by Machiavelli as book about warfare, I presume your connotation is a little wider encompassing statecraft rather than just warfare.
So I will include other works like,
-The Republic by Plato
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...975400-8656610
-The Analects of Confucius in parts of which he deals with the role of the state and the duty of the Kings also.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/103-1975400-8656610
Of course we have any number of works in India in which the role of a good King and state are mentioned, icluding the Thirukural.

On War by Carl Von Clausewitz is of course the most famous western classic.
In English:

Athenian writer Thucydides: The Peloponnesian War (c.400 B.C.) is the only other 'western' classic on war and strategy.
http://classics.mit.edu/Thucydides/pelopwar.html
But von Clausewitz is considered the strategist beyond compare in the west.
Here is 'AN INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDE TO TEACHING CLAUSEWITZ' from the National War College in the US.
