on War
Von Clauswitz in his tome On War estabilished some of the first principles of modern warfare (Yes, Sun Tzu's Art of War does predate On War by many centuries and remains timely (although much like Machiavelli his work sees a lot more exposure in pop business books)). The most quoted line from On War is undoubtedly War is a continuation of policy by other means. Essenially implying that war's goal is promulgation of a policy that could have been pursued by other means.
Aside: Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington discuss this statement in Crimson Tide.
