what are some good books on strategy and tactics?
art of war was good but honestly its really, well generic.
the prince was too uhh political im not into scamming people.
What i wnt is like a breakdown of all major wars with focus on modern warfare aka guerilla warfare and electronic warfare.
if u have any random suggestion go ahead and throw it out there.
Are you looking for a history of war in general?
For strategy I suggest: The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
Here's the description from Amazon:
Quote: The Book of Five Rings is one of the most insightful texts on the subtle arts of confrontation and victory to emerge from Asian culture. Written not only for martial artists but for anyone who wants to apply the timeless principles of this text to their life, the book analyzes the process of struggle and mastery over conflict that underlies every level of human interaction. The Book of Five Rings was composed in 1643 by the famed duelist and undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi. Thomas Cleary's translation is immediately accessible, with an introduction that presents the spiritual background of the warrior tradition. Along with Musashi's text, Cleary translates here another important Japanese classic on leadership and strategy, The Book of Family Traditions on the Art of War by Yagyu Munenori, which highlights the ethical and spiritual insights of Taoism and Zen as they apply to the way of the warrior.
