Description

Carl von Clausewitz's life and work are deeply intertwined with his experiences as a soldier. This biography explores both aspects, delving into the composition of his influential treatise On War and examining his military engagements from Jena-Auerstedt to Waterloo. Through extensive use of Clausewitz's own letters to his wife and friends, historian Donald Stoker provides rich context for each battle and engagement. The book offers a nuanced understanding of both Clausewitz's theoretical contributions and his time on the battlefield. Stoker unpacks the significance of each of Clausewitz's major works, considering their influences and the circumstances surrounding their composition.
