On War (1832) is a treatise on the philosophical aspects of warfare
by Prussian general, scholar, and strategist Carl von Clausewitz.
Published posthumously by the author's wife-who edited his
manuscript and wrote the book's introduction-On War is one of
history's most important works on warfare and military strategy,
and continues to be studied to this day. With a background in art,
culture, and history, and with extensive experience as a combat
veteran, Clausewitz sought to understand the military success of
such figures as Napoleon and Frederick the Great. What interested
Clausewitz the most was how these leaders effectively mobilized
entire nations to launch military campaigns larger and more violent
than any in European history. Although he initially began with the
theory that war was one aspect of a population's struggle for
survival, he eventually came to believe that war was a method of
imposing the will of one state on another. By privileging politics
and philosophy in his study of warfare, Clausewitz changed the way
military figures, politicians, and scholars thought of and
perpetrated the process of war. Most crucially, Clausewitz suggests
that war serves no purpose in and of itself, but rather acts as an
instrument of a political party or group. In addition, Clausewitz
believed that strong moral and political motivations-especially in
the case of defense-greatly increased the chance of victory. On War
was read and interpreted by Vladimir Lenin, Mao Zedong, and Dwight
Eisenhower, and has, for over a century and a half, continued to
shape the concept and conduct of war. With a beautifully designed
cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Carl
von Clausewitz's On War is a classic of history, philosophy, and
military theory reimagined for modern readers.

This is the classic book on military strategy and war, addressing
political, social and economic issues, written by the Prussian
General Carl Von Clausewitz, between 1816 and 1830.
Although Carl von Clausewitz participated in many military
campaigns, he was primarily a military theorist interested in the
examination of war. On War is the West's premier work on the
philosophy of war. Other soldiers before him had written treatises
on various military subjects, but none undertook a great
philosophical examination of war on the scale of Clausewitz's. On
War is considered to be the first modern book of military strategy.
This is due mainly to Clausewitz' integration of political, social,
and economic issues as some of the most important factors in
deciding the outcomes of a war. It is one of the most important
treatises on strategy ever written, and continues to be required
reading at many military academies.
