Translated by J.J. Graham, revised by F.N. Maude Abridged and with
an Introduction by Louise Willmot. On War is perhaps the greatest
book ever written about war. Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian
soldier, had witnessed at first hand the immense destructive power
of the French Revolutionary armies which swept across Europe
between 1792 and 1815. His response was to write a comprehensive
text covering every aspect of warfare. On War is both a
philosophical and practical work in which Clausewitz defines the
essential nature of war, debates the qualities of the great
commander, assesses the relative strengths of defensive and
offensive warfare, and - in highly controversial passages -
considers the relationship between war and politics. His arguments
are illustrated with vivid examples drawn from the campaigns of
Frederick the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte. For the student of
society as well as the military historian, On War remains a
compelling and indispensable source.
