What chess books would you recommend for middlegame?

I'm trying to get better at middlegames, exploiting weaknesses, and creating an attack.
even though you was down the exchange in your last game you played vs krubong dosn't mean you resign this position where you had b4 and open b file bishop on d5 even when you resigned you was better there belive it or not' @Shainks ... There are a few books I could reccomend but I believe one book to start you on your way might be a good idea . For instance i could say Zlotnik wrote a recent book on the middlegame that might interest you . Should you start with a book not reccomended by many like judgement and planning in chess by max euwe which is very very old book but describes basics well but I will go with an oldie but goodie modern chess strategy by ludeck Pachman @Shainks
A good collection of commented games for seeing by examples how to develop middlegame strategies is the Zurich International Chess Tournament 1953 by David Bronstein, a participant of the tournament.

A very good book is "Chess Strategy for Club Players" by Herman Grooten, published by New in Chess.

Almost all middlegame topics are discussed using good examples. These are explained in detail by the author and he does not overwhelm the reader with complex variants. After each chapter you can test your acquired knowledge with some exercises.

You can see a few sample pages here:
