There is more profit to be had in studying Sun Szu rather than Clauswitz.

Read Michael Handel's, "Masters Of War." He compares Clausewitz and Sun Tzu and makes the case that they were not too far apart in strategic thought.

A great thought Clausewitz had:

Woe to the government, which, relying on half-hearted politics and a shackled military policy, meets a foe who, like the untamed elements, knows no law other than his own power!

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.

I agree. Clausewitz is stale.
