Traveller,

Since you listed The Prince by Machiavelli as book about warfare, I presume your connotation is a little wider encompassing statecraft rather than just warfare.

So I will include other works like,

-The Republic by Plato

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...975400-8656610

-The Analects of Confucius in parts of which he deals with the role of the state and the duty of the Kings also.

Of course we have any number of works in India in which the role of a good King and state are mentioned, icluding the Thirukural.
