Description:
For 2,000 years, Sun Tzu's The Art of War was the indispensable volume of warcraft. Then, in 1832, Carl von Clausewitz's On War was posthumously published. At last, these two famous works converge. Sun Tzu's is the first known analysis of war and warfare. Clausewitz, that canny military theorist who famously declared that war is a continuation of politics by other means, may also claim paternity of the notion of "total war." His is the magnum opus of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars.

Sun Tzu, on the other hand, struck upon the thoroughly modern concept that "the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." He also devotes significant attention to the training and placement of secret agents. Thus the greatest mind of the Cold War was writing in China in 500 B.C.
Now these two great military minds are made to share the same tent, metaphorically speaking, in The Book of War. What a bivouac it is, and what a conversation into the night.
