Today, the ideas of Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) are employed
almost ubiquitously in strategic studies, military history and
defence literatures, but often in a manner which distorts their
true meaning. In this book, Waldman explores Clausewitz's central
theoretical device for understanding war - the 'remarkable trinity'
of politics, chance and passion. By situating the great Prussian in
historical context, he presents a conception truer to Clausewitz's
intention. Seeking to achieve this through an in-depth
reinterpretation of On War and Clausewitz's other writings,
conducted through the prism of the trinity, this book draws on
existing studies but argues that there is room for clarification.
It presents fresh perspectives into aspects of Clausewitz's thought
and emphasises elements of his theory that have often been
neglected. Furthermore, it provides a solid basis from which debate
on the nature of modern war can move forward.
