What sort of strategy to they teach at military colleges? Are they given accounts of ancient conquerors as well as modern tactics and the like? What might be in an officers course reading list?

They of course continue to study Sun Tzu, because the man LITERALLY wrote the book on this whole affair. I imagine they might also read on Julius Caesar, George Washington, perhaps William the Conqueror and Jeanne D'Arc. Although their strategies are ancient and outdated, they can provide analogues for newer ones and be examples of innovation, outside-the-box thinking and creativity. They may also study their nation's military failures to learn what does NOT work.
westpoint has a recommended reading list
Mid grade officer here; they mostly focus on how to understand, visualize, and articulate.
The emphasis is much more on how to think than you'd imagine. At least in the US army it is.
