Roots of Strategy: Book 3: 3 Military Classics : Von Leeb's Defense/Von Freytag-Loringhoven's the Power of Personality in War/Erfurth's Surprise: 003

The 3 books (Roots of Strategy) pack in 11 cmts (about 2++ inches) all the classics on this field (Sun Tzu, Vegetius, De Saxe, Frederick, Napoleon, Du Picq's, Clausenwitz, Jomini, Von Leeb, Erfurth and Von Freytag) without adding comments or analyzing them in any way.The collected books discuss war related issues that occurred prior to 1945, so the value of this package (the 3 books) rest mostly in the historical perspective.Although I had some of them as separate items or partially discussed as part of other texts (i.e. Masters of War or The Art of War for Executives: Ancient Knowledge for Today's Business Professional), I wanted to have access to the whole package as a reference material (as a PMI PMP, I am interested in developing connections between the art of war and the art of project management).So, if you are trying to (as myself) have access to these books on strategy for reference purposes, this package is fantastic. If you want a discussion or a comparison or a relation with current affairs or business strategy they are not your package.

This book is a compilation of three important books that influenced German operational doctrine in the 1930s. All three are excellent for those interested in the development of military ideas that resonate to this day.

Great addition to my personal library. Thank you for the quick delivery.

Very important texts in the development of modern warfare.
