On the Origins of War and the Preservation of Peace
By: Donald Kagan

War has been a fact of life for centuries on end. By lucidly revealing the common threads that connect the ancient confrontations between Athens and Sparta and between Rome and Carthage with the two calamitous world wars of the twentieth century and the Cuban missile crisis, renowned historian Donald Kagan reveals new and surprising insights into the nature of war – and peace – that are vitally important. His vivid accounts should help alert to the dangers of complacency and serve as a warning to our preparedness in times of peace.

Phase Line Green
By: Nicholas Warr
Paperback Edition

The bloody, month-long battle for the Citadel in Hue during 1968 pitted U.S. Marines against an entrenched, numerically superior North Vietnamese Army force. By official U.S. accounts it was a tactical and moral victory for the Marines and the United States. But a survivor´s compulsion to square official accounts with his contrasting experience has produced an entirely different perspective of the battle, the most controversial to emerge from the Vietnam War in decades.

Strategy
By: B. H. Liddell Hart
Paperback Edition

This is the classic book on war as we know it. During his long life, Basil H. Liddell Hart was considered one of the world's foremost military thinkers--a man generally regarded as the "Clausewitz of the 20th century." Liddell Hart stressed movement, flexibilty, surprise. He saw that in most military campaigns dislocation of the enemy's psychological and physical balance is prelude to victory. This dislocation results from a strategic indirect approach. Reflect for a moment on the results of direct confrontation (trench war in WW I) versus indirect dislocation (Blitzkreig in WW II). Liddell Hart is also tonic for business and political planning: just change the vocabulary and his concepts fit.
