Jonathan Clements wrote a great book on the life of China’s First Emperor, Qin Shi Huangdi. Link: https://www.amazon.com/First-Emperor-China-Jonathan-Clements/dp/1909771112
He has also written books on Confucius, Kublai Khan and Wu Zetian, as well as a translation of Sunzi’s The Art of War.
I don't know that much about Mao. Pick up a biography of Deng Xiaoping if you want to know politics after Mao.

that's the shortest overview of all of Chinese history I've seen. It's simple and brief and covers all the main topics beginning with Chinese mythology in 3000 BC up to now
I've looked at this one
Do you have any others I could look at?
There are few books actually written by frontier generals on the topic, but periodically frontier generals and officials would write memorials explaining how they thought wars against the nomads should go. These are scattered throughout the 24 standard histories.
There are very few existing records from Zhao and Yan, and most of the accounts of the battles they fought against nomads are a sentence or two long. There is an interesting discussion about Nomad tactics, however, in the Zhan Guo Ce , or Strategies of the Warring States. (Whose English translation can be purchased here ). The Xhan Guo Ce contains many reconstructed dialogues between court officials, diplomats, and military men as they try and outwit each other and stop the Qin from taking over the central states. One of more interesting debates included their in was a discussion in the court fo Zhao over whether or not they should form a cavalry wing in imitation to their nomad enemies to the North (before this horses were just used for chariots). One of the great objections is that to do so they would have to wear pants, the clothes of a barbarian!
Not quite what you are looking for, but probably as close as you will get for the time period in question.
