(H/B) ON WAR

Παρουσίαση

- "It remains the measure of [Clausewitz's] genius that, although the age for which he wrote is long since past, he can still provide so many insights relevant to a generation the nature of whose problems he could not possibly have foreseen." (From the introduction by Michael Howard)

- "That On War offers an essentially consistent theory of conflict is indicative of the creative power of Clausewitz's method and ideas... They range from the magnificent opening sequence of logically unfolding propositions to the rich... discussions of Books Two through Six to the essayistic chapters of the last two books, which suggest with brilliant strokes what a final version might have contained." (From the introduction by Peter Paret)
