Description
Carl von Clausewitz's On War is a foundational work that has shaped Western understanding of war and its role in policy. First published in 1976 and revised in 1984, this edition by Michael Howard and Peter Paret is widely regarded as the best translation and standard edition of On War in English. This feature-rich edition includes essays by Paret on the genesis of Clausewitz's book, Howard on his influence, and Brodie on the continuing relevance of On War. Brodie also provides a detailed commentary to help readers navigate the work, along with a comprehensive index for further reference. With its rich insights into the internal dynamics of war and its use as an instrument of policy, On War remains a vital resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding this complex and multifaceted subject.
