Clausewitz, who fought in the Napoleonic wars, sought to understand
and analyze the phenomenon of war so that future leaders could win
conflicts more effectively. This abridged edition selects the books
in which the nature and theory of war are developed and explains
the originality his ideas.
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.

First published by Routledge & Kegan Paul 1968.
Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) was a Prussian General and military
writer.
His writings are contained in nine volumes, published posthumously,
but his fame rests most upon these three volumes, forming his
treatise On War. It reveals war, stripped of all accessories, as
the exercise of force for the attainment of a political object,
unrestrained by any law save that of expediency, this gives the key
to the interpretation of German political aims, past, present and
future.
