No but seriously, works that should be read:

-Classical Greek and Roman stuff, philosophy, military, politics etc.. Read some ancient Indic texts, Confucian and Legalists stuff as well.
-Sun Tzu's Art of War is a must, as is Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince
- Adam Smith, Edmund Burke for understanding how modern day conservatism and modern economic system came to be.
-B.H Lidell Hart, J.F.C Fuller, Jomini and Alfred Thayer Mahan's stuff
-Philosophy stuff: Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Rosseau, Neitzche, Hegel, Schopenhauer, John Stuart Mill
-Edward Said's Orientalism
