There is little covered in
The Art Of War that is not elaborated on in
On War.
None the less, I always reccomend studying both.

There are some major differences relating to the backgrounds of the authors. Clausewitz seems to view war as a continuum of politics whereas Szu sees it as an exception to be avoided whenever possible.
In addition, what takes C a page to uncover S does in a couple of sentences. If a general had to read ONLY one there is no reason to read Clausewitz.
