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.

Vom Kriege ist das Hauptwerk von Carl von Clausewitz, das sich mit der Theorie des Krieges beschäftigt. Seine Theorien über Strategie, Taktik und Philosophie hatten großen Einfluss auf die Entwicklung des Kriegswesens in allen westlichen Ländern und werden bis heute an Militärakademien gelehrt. Sie finden auch im Bereich der Unternehmensführung sowie im Marketing Anwendung. Seine Theorien sind Inhalt des Lehrplanes der Betriebswirtschaft an der Harvard University und verschiedener anderer Managementschulen. Carl Philipp Gottlieb von Clausewitz (1780-1831) war ein preußischer General, Heeresreformer und Militärtheoretiker.

Carl von Clausewitz entered the Prussian military at the age of twelve as a Lance-Corporal and would go on to obtain the rank of Major-General. In "On War", Clausewitz draws upon his experiences fighting in the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, as well as his military studies at the "Kriegsakademie", or Prussian War Academy, which he would eventually become director of. Clausewitz employs a dialectical approach to military analysis, which leads to frequent modern misinterpretation. Described as both a realist and a romantic, Clausewitz argued that war could not simply be reduced to the logistics on the ground but rather called for rapid decision making by alert commanders responding to unexpected developments unfolding under the "fog of war". First published in 1832, "On War" is a mainstay of modern military colleges, a monumental work of military analysis and philosophy, which continues to be studied and interpreted to this day. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the classic translation of Colonel J. J. Graham.

A new edition of von Clausewitz's classic treatise on military strategy, reinterpreted by Graham Harman through the philosophy of speculative realism.
