This fascinating book assesses Prussian military thinker Carl von
Clausewitz's famous theory on warfare in relation to historical and
modern-day conflict—and future trends. Carl von Clausewitz's On
War is arguably the most important single work ever written on the
theory of warfare and military strategy. In Clausewitz
Reconsidered, two prominent military historians assess his
theories, examining their viability at a time when asymmetric
warfare and "war" conducted by and against nonstate actors is
increasingly common and state control often ephemeral. The basis of
the book's analysis is an examination of war over the last four
centuries, since the Thirty Years' War, including the Cold War and
subsequent conflicts. What is discovered is that war is far more
endemic and brutal today than when Clausewitz tried to explain it.
This volume explores that paradox and shows that if anything, we
can anticipate further uncontrolled violence. The authors conclude
that Clausewitz and On War have assumed a status akin to holy writ,
but are obviously dated. The aim of Clausewitz Reconsidered is to
bring the master's theories up to date, providing the current
generation with a new basis for thought and analysis.
