I got in my bookshelf:

Vom Kriege
Hagakure
The Books of the Five Rings (Spheres, depens on translation)
The Art of War
TôsenKyô
The Life-Giving Sword
...











No doubt there are other very insightfull books on how to strategize... give me some please

The Art of War would definetly be a good choice. Naval warfare happens to be one of my hobbies so if you have any questions please ask.

like i said, the books i posted i already OWN

what other ones should i read. although if you are this illiterate, i don't know if i should follow your advice...

Sorry I just kind of glanced at your post.

not a good sign...

and if you don't have a book to recommend, please refrain from posting

I don't know a good book off hand but if your interested in the tools of warfare such weapon sys I would suggest visiting Raytheon's web site or do some research on the Aegis combat sys or Mk 99 fire control sys. Good read.

Now, is this just the treatsie written by Sun Tzu, or is this the collected publication?

There's a version out there called The Complete Art of War, which contains Art of War by Sun Tzu, and Military Methods, written by his descendant, Sun Pin.

Even if you already own a copy of Art of War, it's a nice book to have in your collection.

got the translation of William Scott
i'll look into it
