On War - Carl von Clausewitz - Bog

On War is a classic military strategy book written by Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz. First published in 1832, it has since become a cornerstone of military theory and is still widely studied and referenced today. The book is divided into eight chapters, each exploring different aspects of warfare, such as the nature of war, the role of politics in war, and the importance of strategy and tactics. Von Clausewitz argues that war is a complex and dynamic phenomenon, influenced by a variety of factors including politics, economics, and social dynamics. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding the enemy and adapting to changing circumstances on the battlefield. Throughout the book, von Clausewitz uses historical examples to illustrate his points and provide practical insights into military strategy. On War remains a must-read for anyone interested in military history, strategy, or international relations.If, in the next place, we keep once more to the pure conception of War, then we must say that the political object properly lies out of its province, for if War is an act of violence to compel the enemy to fulfil our will, then in every case all depends on our overthrowing the enemy, that is, disarming him, and on that alone.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
