Description de l’éditeur
Clausewitz begins with two wrestlers locked in a duel—then enlarges the struggle until nations, armies, and political purpose are caught in the same grip.
Written between 1816 and 1830 in the aftermath of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, On War asks what happens when force becomes an instrument of policy. Carl von Clausewitz follows the logic of conflict, but refuses to make it tidy: chance, human resolve, and the shifting aims of governments resist any neat formula for victory. The commander must act amid uncertainty, while the statesman must reckon with forces that may outrun intention. If war is shaped by politics, what happens when its violence begins to shape politics in return?
