The Science of Victory - an underrated war manual

It was written by General Suvorov, one of history's few undefeated commanders. He even defeated Napoleon.

He summarizes winning as: eyes, speed, impact. That means find the enemy before he finds you, move in quickly, and hit him as hard as possible at his weakest point.

Pobeda means victory in Russian, and there is a verb for which means "to be victorious". It is the second word of his book. The Wikipedia article on Suvorov is excellent.
