Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian soldier, had witnessed at first hand the immense destructive power of the French Revolutionary armies which swept across Europe between 1792 and 1815. His response was to write a comprehensive text covering every aspect of warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn War\u003c\/em\u003e is both a philosophical and practical work in which Clausewitz defines the essential nature of war, debates the qualities of the great commander, assesses the relative strengths of defensive and offensive warfare, and - in highly controversial passages - considers the relationship between war and politics. His arguments are illustrated with vivid examples drawn from the campaigns of Frederick the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the student of society as well as the military historian, On War remains a compelling and indispensable source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 400 pages | Published July 1997\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63967067406685,"sku":"9781853264825","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781853264825.jpg?v=1774352276","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/on-war","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
