On War (100 Copy Collector's Edition) by Carl Von Clausewitz Pdf

On War is a book on military strategy by Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz, written mostly after the Napoleonic wars, between 1816 and 1830, and published posthumously in 1832. On War is one of the most important treatises on political-military analysis and strategy ever written, and remains both controversial and an influence on strategic thinking. Clausewitz was among those intrigued by the manner in which the leaders of the French Revolution, especially Napoleon, had changed the conduct of war through their ability to motivate the populace and to gain access to the full resources of the state; thus unleashing war on a greater scale than had previously been seen in Europe. Clausewitz was well educated and had strong interests in art, history, science, and education. He was a professional soldier who spent a considerable part of his life fighting against Napoleon. The insights he gained from his political and military experiences, combined with a solid grasp of European history, allowed Clausewitz to write a definitive book on military strategy. This edition contains all three volumes of On War, and includes an introduction, a biography, and annotations. This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.

The Art of War (100 Copy Collector's Edition) by Sun Tzu Pdf

The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise by Sun Tzu, a high-ranking military general, strategist and tactician. The text is composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare. It is commonly thought of as a definitive work on military strategy and tactics. For the last two thousand years it remained the most important military treatise in Asia, where even the common people knew it by name. It has had an influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond. The book was first translated into the French language in 1772 by French Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot and a partial translation into English was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905. However, the most popular (and accurate) English language translation was completed by Lionel Giles in 1910. Leaders as diverse as Mao Zedong, General Vo Nguyen Giap, General Douglas MacArthur and leaders of Imperial Japan have drawn inspiration from the work. This edition has 380 footnotes, an introduction, and brief biographies on the 11 main commentators on Sun Tzu's work. This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.

The Jewish War (100 Copy Collector's Edition) by Flavius Josephus Pdf

Divided into seven books, The Jewish War opens with a summary of Jewish history from the capture of Jerusalem by the Seleucid ruler Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 168 BC to the first stages of the First Jewish-Roman War. The next five books detail the unfolding of the war, under Roman generals Vespasian and Titus, to the death of the last Sicarii. The Jewish War is written by Josephus, a Roman-Jewish historian of the 1st century. In the wake of the suppression of the Jewish revolt, Josephus would have witnessed the marches of Titus's triumphant legions leading their Jewish captives, and carrying treasures from the despoiled Temple in Jerusalem. It was against this background that Josephus wrote his War, claiming to be countering anti-Judean accounts. The Jewish War has been described as the most influential non-biblical text of Western history. This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.

It has been translated into more than 200 languages, and has never been out of print. It has also been cited as the first novel written in English.

The Complete Wizard of Oz Collection by L. Frank Baum Pdf

"The book has a bright and joyous atmosphere and does not dwell upon killing and deeds of violence. Enough stirring adventure enters into it, however, to flavor it with zest ... It will indeed be strange if there be a normal child who will not enjoy the story." "An original departure in children's literature, in every way novel and unique. ... The text is charming and will prove interesting to both young and old. ..." - The New York Times, 1900. " 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' has become America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairy tale. The first totally American fantasy for children, it is one of the most-read children's books." - Library of Congress. "The Oz books are far ahead of their time both scientifically and politically. They are full of inventions that would not appear on the market for most of the century, among them a robot man, an artificial heart and limbs, a television monitoring system, anti-gravity devices, and a computer-type news service." - Alison Lurie. "I have learned to regard fame as a will-o-the-wisp, which when caught, is not worth the possession; but to please a child is a sweet and lovely thing that warms one's heart and brings its own reward." - L. Frank Baum. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is an enchanting tale of adventure and self-discovery in a magical country. It is America's first and greatest fairy tale and is one of the most-read children's books. Its unforgettable characters and memorable adventures made it an instant classic, so much so that Baum wrote another thirteen books in the series. This is the second volume of a two-volume collection of all fourteen books and it will be a delight to any lover of the wonderful land of Oz. Features of this hardback edition: Contains the last seven books in the Oz series: Tik-Tok of Oz, The Scarecrow of Oz, Rinkitink in Oz, The Lost Princess of Oz, The Tin Woodman of Oz, The Magic of Oz and Glinda of Oz. The text is set in a well-spaced, crisp, large, modern 11-point font that children and grandparents will find easy to read. Each book contains the author's introduction. Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American writer, best-known for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote another thirteen books in the Oz series and over fifty-five novels. Baum wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz after failures as an actor, and proprietor of, successively a theater, a general store, a newspaper, and a trade magazine. Baum aimed to create an Americanized fairy tale in his Oz books, like Grimms' and Andersen's, but "in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out."
