Description

Carl von Clausewitz's On War explores the nature of conflict and its relationship to politics. Written during Napoleon's greatest military campaigns, this influential treatise presents war as part of a broader system of thought, highlighting the need for absolute power and the importance of distinguishing between war and politics. Clausewitz argues that war can only be justified when debate is no longer possible, and its ultimate goal should be to improve the wellbeing of the nation. This edition includes a detailed introduction examining Von Clausewitz's skill as a writer, philosopher, and political thinker, as well as additional resources such as bibliography, notes, and a glossary. Published by National Geographic Books, this Penguin Classics edition offers authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
