I'll have to check that one out - here's one that I keep coming back to:
http://www.amazon.com/Makers-Modern-Strategy-Machiavelli-Nuclear/dp/0198200978/ref=sr_1_1/105-5687793-9498059?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180902467&sr=8-1
And another, tangentially related:
http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Eat-Soup-Knife-Counterinsurgency/dp/0226567702/ref=sr_1_1/105-5687793-9498059?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180902541&sr=1-1
Neither are quite as enjoyable as reading about Ender & Bean, but, well,
different.
Try Heinlein's Starship Troopers.
