Modern Ideas in Chess by Reti
Learn from the Legends is a great book, but it mainly deals with the (early) endgame, not so much strategy as a whole.
It sounds like you want something like Kasparov's 'My Great Predecessors,' through preferably in one book not five volumes. I'm not sure what else is out there, but I'm sure there's a book out there that explains how computers have transformed modern chess. And if there isn't, someone should write one.

greetings all,
i'm giving one of my chess-loving friends a chess book for his birthday. i would really like to give him a book on how chess strategy has evolved over time through the world's greatest chess players. another friend of mine recommended anthony saidy's book "the march of chess ideas," but i heard that it was not very comprehensive and also it also appears to be a couple of decades out of data (maybe omitting important computer era developments).
suggestions?
thanks friends!
