On War is one of the most important books ever written on the
subject of war. Clausewitz, a Prussian officer who fought against
the French during the Napoleonic Wars, sought to understand and
analyze the phenomenon of war so that future leaders could conduct
and win conflicts more
effectively. He studied the human and social factors that affect
outcomes, as well as the tactical and technological ones. He
understood that war was a weapon of government, and that political
purpose, chance, and enmity combine to shape its dynamics. On War
continues to be read by military
strategists, politicians, and others for its timeless insights.
This abridged edition by Beatrice Heuser, using the acclaimed
translation by Michael Howard and Peter Paret, selects the central
books in which Clausewitz's views on the nature and theory of war
are developed. Heuser's introduction
explains the originality of Clausewitz's ideas, his education and
background, and summarizes his key theories, while explanatory
notes provide further information on the historical examples
Clausewitz cites.
