*edit*
I have it in my collection, among Machiavelli's "The Art of War", Clausewitz's "On War" and the best modern work about this topic: The Utility of Force: The Art of War in the Modern World by Sir General Rupert Smith.
Sun Tzu is brilliant and I'm sure you can apply his work on ET, as you can apply it to almost every aspect in life where "competition" is apparant, whether you're a statesman, a big CEO, a football coach, a general, a diplomat, etc.

Nice! Trust me, these are arguably the four most important books on the art of war. Mind you that Machiavelli's work I mentioned is not his famous "Il Principe", but a much lesser known treatise!

Awesome I know that Sun Tzu's book was kept secret for a long time, so it almost feels like you're secretly reading hidden texts

The Art of War is one of my favorites, as is The Prince. If you liked those you should also check out "The Book of Five Rings" by Miyamoto Musashi.
