Anyone here have an intelligence/statecraft background,?

Attended the best university in my nation to take liberal arts. Read classics.

I know the major authors for statecraft, Kautilya, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, Thucydides, Caesar, Zhang Liang, Clausewitz, Jomini, Mahen, Corbett. Are there any others I should read?

Karl Marx
Vladimir Lenin
Bakunin
Proudhon
Trotsky
Althusser

Nope, that's a pretty good spread. If you ever get thrown twelve-hundred years into the past you'll be more than ready to advise a king.

Ironically, these books still apply to modern statecraft.

Marxist thought is useful for analysis, but I don't want delusional armchair statesmen. I need more authors who were actively practicing statecraft and writing on it.

Hugo Grotius; Jean Barbeyrac (as opposed to reading Locke and Kant)

in the words of a former member of the circus, Marxists tend to have never worked for the state except in a communist one. On top of that, they still hunt reds under the bed.
