Carl Phillip Gottleib von Clausewitz (1780-1831), Prussian general
and military theorist, is most famous for his book On War, a work
that has influenced numerous wartime leaders from Lenin to Henry
Kissinger. Parkinson's biography of Clausewitz provides detailed
examinations of the Napoleonic battles in which he participated and
which shaped his theories of warfare. Parkinson describes
Clausewitz's first experiences in combat as a twelve-year-old cadet
in battles with France along the Rhine. The biography follows
Clausewitz during the years of Napoleon's rise, when, disgusted
with the Prussian King's refusal to fight, he joined the Russian
army and witnessed Napoleon's defeat following the destruction of
Moscow and several harrowing months of battle. The book also
includes in-depth descriptions of the battles following Napoleon's
return, in which Clausewitz put his theories into practice against
Napoleon's marshals.
