"On War" is a classic work of modern Western military theory and can be called the Western "Sun Tzu's Art of War". This book played a major role in the formation and development of modern Western military thought. In the book, the author discusses his unique insights into the art of war, including research on the relationship between war and policy, the role of "friction" in war, the importance of morale, and views on general strategy.

Machiavelli is the most criticized great thinker in the history of Western thought. His ideas pose a major threat to the moral foundation of political life.

"On War (Revised Edition)" is a bourgeois military classic that uses dialectical methods to comprehensively discuss the basic principles of war. For the first time, Western military thought was synthesized into an intrinsically linked theoretical system; it provided a set of scientific methods for strategic decision-making, that is, how national government departments and military commanders should implement correct strategic guidance for future wars, formulate war plans, and ultimately achieve war victory, which greatly promoted the establishment and development of military science. "On War (Revised Edition)" is translated based on the Western version, using a concise and easy-to-understand method to translate "On War (Revised Edition)".
