Masters of War is the first comprehensive study based on a detailed textual analysis of the classical works on war by Clauswitz, Sun Tzu, Mao Tse-tung, and, to a lesser extent, Jomini and Machiavelli.
These essays investigate the logic, conduct and nature of war on the highest political and strategic levels,as they look at the impact of technology on warfare, the political nature of war and the limits of rational analysis in studying war.
Published in 1996, Clausewitz and Modern Strategy is a valuable contribution to the field of Military & Strategic Studies.
