Alright, /his. Let's get the low down.
I am looking to extensively study the history of warfare, primarily focusing on the tactics, strategy and battles of military leaders throughout the centuries so what I'm looking for is this;
A comprehensive list of military generals and leaders etc. who you deem to be worthy or capable or influential in some form.
Books about these individuals or books about the entirety of the history of warfare in general.
I am a novice in history and some people I have in mind right now are;
Napoleon
Charles XII
Caesar
Alexander
Khalid ibn al-Walid
Hannibal
Charlemagne
Augustus
Are there any kinds of books on warfare that span the history of the world?

Robert E Lee
Philippe Pétain
Orde Wingate
Orde Wingate is one of my favourites to read about. Pioneered the use of long range, large scale aerial operations using a multi-national unit of specialist jungle fighters.

I would be sure to examine economy and politics along with warfare in general, since they play a large part in why and how a war is sometimes waged.
Erich von Manstein
Robert E. Lee
Sun Tzu
You could also examine "The Influence of Sea Power Upon History" by Alfred Thayer Mahan if you want to know where the whole battleship vs. battleship doctrine of naval combat originated from which dictated naval thought from the late 19th-century until 1945.

Tamerlane
Subutai
