This is a list of suggested readings related to the craft of war and to the World of Warcraft. 

Feel free to post or PM suggestions with reasoning behind what it brings to the table!

 

 

The Art of War - Sun Tzu  

  A corner stone of military theory.

Warfighting (MCDP1) - United States Marine Corps 

  Written in the context of the conduct of actual war the theories here can be applied to our situation as well.

The Bear Went Over the Mountain: Soviet Combat Tactics in Afghanistan - Lester W. Grau

  A series of vignettes that have lessons which can be applied to our situation.

Diminishing Returns 

Target Calling

  A few points worth elaborating on in another article for ourselves. Don't establish a pattern. Don't DR on your kill or CC targets, order your CC's appropriately, and track enemy CD's. These warrant an article unto themselves though. Thanks to Grey for this link!

Because TC'ing is a job that is obscure as hell for those who are just starting out, and because a little extra theory is never a bad thing:

The Art of Target-Calling: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/15700531127

There have been many such guides over the years but this is one of the more recent ones. It also touches on the importance of coordinating CC on the healers before bursting as well as the importance of AoE combos.
