What is the ideal relationship between the commander and the
statesman in time of war? Is there a balance to be struck between
political control and military operational expertise? Given the
importance of these questions, the range of answers that has been
given to them by both theorists and practitioners is striking.
Major Suzanne Nielsen addresses these issues by examining what Carl
von Clausewitz has to say about civil-military relations and the
use of force. Though Clausewitz's insight that "War is a
continuation of policy" is well-known, his arguments about the
appropriateness of extensive political control during time of war
are not as often discussed. Clausewitz provides an argument for
extensive political influence over military operations-influence
that lacks a clear limit. Major Nielsen looks in depth at
Clausewitz's arguments on this point.
