Produktbeschreibung
In "On War" (Vom Kriege), Carl von Clausewitz presents a comprehensive examination of the nature, philosophy, and strategy of warfare, blending historical analysis with theoretical exploration. Written in a meticulous yet accessible prose style, the book is not only a fundamental treatise on military strategy but also delves into the complexities of political, social, and psychological factors that influence warfare. Clausewitz's dialectical method melds empirical observation with abstract theory, situating the work in the Romantic tradition of the 19th century while prefiguring modern strategic studies. Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian general and military theorist, draws on his extensive experiences in the Napoleonic Wars to elaborate his concepts. His understanding of war as "the continuation of politics by other means" reflects a profound recognition of the interplay between military conflict and political objectives. Clausewitz's background in the military, coupled with his philosophical inclinations, significantly shaped his insights into the multifaceted nature of war. "On War" is essential reading for military professionals, historians, and political scientists alike, offering timeless wisdom on the dynamics of armed conflict. The book encourages readers to contemplate the broader implications of warfare, making it a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the intricate relationship between war, strategy, and statecraft.
Autorenporträt
Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) was a Prussian general and military theorist who stressed the "moral" (meaning, in modern terms, psychological) and political aspects of war. His most notable work, On War, was unfinished at his death. Clausewitz was a realist in many different senses and, while in some respects a romantic, also drew heavily on the rationalist ideas of the European Enlightenment.
