On War by Carl von Clausewitz edited and translated by Michael Howard and Peter Paret. Carl von Clausewitz was a staff officer who served with great distinction during the Napoleonic campaigns, and also a military historian and intellectual of the highest order - at ease with both the strategic doctrines of his time and the larger movements of thought in the world around him. Out of these elements he distilled his classic discussion of the nature and meaning of one of humankind's central endeavors, On War.
