Description: On War by Carl von Clausewitz, ed. Michael Howard & Peter Paret; Everyman's Library #121; Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.; 1993; translated from German Hardcover book with no DJ. Clean. Like new. The dark green cover boards are cloth covered with no edge wear. The title is embossed in gold on the front cover and on the spine, both in excellent condition. The back cover has a minor scuff line. The corners and edges show very minimal wear. The spine and binding are tight. There are no missing, torn, or folded pages. The pages are all clean, unmarked, and crisp. 5.25" x 8.3". 870 Pages Carl von Clausewitz was not only an officer who served with great distinction during the Napoleonic campaigns but was also a military historian and intellectual of the highest order—at ease with both the strategic doctrines of his time and the larger movements of thought in the world around him. Out of these elements he distilled his classic discussion of the nature and meaning of one of humankind's central endeavors, war—which he famously declared to be "the continuation of politics by different means." Though unfinished at his death, On War contains all his important ideas about absolute versus limited war, the intrinsic violence of war, and its necessary subjugation to political ends. It would be impossible to overestimate the influence of this book on subsequent strategic thinking, on the political considerations that underlie such thinking, and on the general understanding of human conflict.
