Blending detailed contextual analysis with issues in modern-day
international relations this book provides a major new analysis of
the theory of Clausewitz and its relevance to contemporary society.
This book argues that Clausewitz developed a wide-ranging political
theory of war by reflecting on the success, the limitations, and
the failure of Napoleon's method of waging war, a theory, which is
still relevant in light of contemporary conflict. This new
interpretation is the result of reflecting on Clausewitz's theory
in light of the new developments and lays down the foundation of a
general theory of war by concentrating on Clausewitz's historical
analyses of war campaigns. For the first time analysis of three
paradigmatic military campaigns is placed at the centre of
understanding surrounding Clausewitz's 'On War': The author argues
that the limitations of Napoleon's strategy, as revealed in Russia
and in his final defeat, enabled Clausewitz to develop a general
theory of war. This book is a project of the Oxford Leverhulme
Programme on the Changing Character of War.
