Vom Kriege is right up there with the Art of War

I might add the Book of Five Rings but if you think about it Musashi's writings did in many ways absolutely accurately predicted Imperial Japanese thinking in WWII

In the discussion that led to this, we decided to leave out things that "nobody" understands, i.e., being confused or just put off by a book is fundamentally different than misinterpreting it… We also decided to exclude all religious texts from the discussion, as they would easily dominate. Also, pointing out someone's important truth to be a misinterpretation, misquote, or just entirely fabricated material does not lead to pleasant discussions.
