Clausewitz had many aphorisms, of which the most famous is, "War is not merely a political act, but also a political instrument, a continuation of political relations, a carrying out of the same by other means," a working definition of war which has won wide acceptance.
The Battle of Waterloo has been studied and dissected so extensively that one might assume little more on the subject could be discovered. Now historian Peter Hofschröer brings forward a long-repressed commentary written by Carl von Clausewitz, the author of On War. Clausewitz, the Western world's most renowned military theorist, participated in the Waterloo campaign as a senior staff officer in the Prussian army. His appraisal, offered here in an up-to-date and readable translation, criticized the Duke of Wellington's actions. Lord Liverpool sent his translation of the manuscript to Wellington, who pronounced it a ""lying work."" The translated commentary was quickly buried in Wellington's private papers, where it languished for a century and a half. Now published for the first time in English, Hofschröer brings Clausewitz's critique back into view with thorough annotation and contextual explanation. Peter Hofschröer, long recognized as a leading scholar of the Napoleonic Wars, shows how the Duke prevented the account's publication during his lifetime - a manipulation of history so successful that almost two centuries passed before Clausewitz's work reemerged, finally permitting a reappraisal of key events in the campaign. In addition to translating and annotating Clausewitz's critique, Hofschröer also includes an order of battle and an extensive bibliography.

Clausewitz wrote "Principles of War" in 1811-1812. Originally used as an overview for a general's student, the work had acquired an importance of its own since then. Completed 10-17 years before Clausewitz' "On War", "Principles of War" can be useful in understanding the development of the general's thought, deeper insight into "On War", or just as a primer on Clausewitz' thought. This new translation includes the whole classic work, with the exception of archaic and purely tactical diagrams.
"Sodan filosofi" Carl von Clausewitz esitti tunnetut sotatieteelliset teoriansa lähes 200 vuotta sitten. Harvan sotateoreetikon nimeen on vannottu niin monessa maailmaa järkyttäneessä yhteydessä kuin hänen. Clausewiz'in ajatusten lähtökohdan, että sotataito ei voi perustua absoluuttisiin matemaattisiin laskelmiin, vaan se on syvästi inhimillistä toimintaa, oikeellisuus on korostunut nykypäivänä. Se teorian ja todellisen elämän tahdistus, jota Clausewitz "Vom Kriege" -kirjassaan suorittaa, ohjasi sodanjohtoa ensimmäisessä maailmansodassa ja uudelleen 1930-luvulta lähtien useimmissa käydyissä sodissa. Clausewiz'in oppien soveltaminen sodankäynnin lisäksi myös muille aloille: kaupan ja liikkeenjohdon teorioiksi, käynnistyi 1900-luvun lopulla. Clausewitz esittää teoriansa ja perustelee ne historian tai oman aikansa sotatapahtumien käytännön esimerkein. Pääsäännöt ovat yhä käyttökelpoisia: tänään ehkä pätevämpinä kuin koskaan aiemmin.
Preussilainen kenraali ja sotateoreetikko Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) kehitti sotilaallisen ajattelun uudelle tasolle. Hän tulkitsi sodan luonteen ja sotilasstrategiat niin syvällisesti, että hänen ajattelunsa on antanut oppia nykyaikaiseen sodankäyntiin ja suomalaiseenkin sotataitoon. Clausewitzin ajatuksia on sovellettu myös liikeyritysten johtamiseen. Sodankäynnistä onkin edelleen tärkeää luettavaa jokaiselle johtajalle.
Vom Kriege gilt als das bedeutendste Werk, das jemals über die Kriegsführung verfaßt wurde. Seinen Rang verdankt es insbesondere den ersten Kapiteln, in denen Clausewitz eine allgemeine Wesensbestimmung des Krieges vornimmt. In seinen Kernaussagen, wie der These vom politischen Charakter des Krieges, von seiner Doppelnatur als traditionellem und revolutionärem Krieg und seiner Bestimmung als Gewaltakt, der der Erfüllung des eigenen Willens dient, reicht sein Ansatz weit über den militärischen Bereich hinaus.

'War is merely the continuation of policy by other means' On War is one of the most important books ever written on the subject of war. Clausewitz, a Prussian officer who fought against the French during the Napoleonic Wars, sought to understand and analyse the phenomenon of war so that future leaders could conduct and win conflicts more effectively. He studied the human and social factors that affect outcomes, as well as the tactical and technological ones. He understood that war was a weapon of government, and that political purpose, chance, and enmity combine to shape its dynamics. On War continues to be read by military strategists, politicians, and others for its timeless insights. This abridged edition by Beatrice Heuser, using the acclaimed translation by Michael Howard and Peter Paret, selects the central books in which Clausewitz's views on the nature and theory of war are developed. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Among the enormous oeuvre of Clausewitz the best-known work, by far, is the unfinished magnum opus On War. His works include many excellent writings on military history, of which The Campaign of 1812 in Russia is, assuredly, the masterpiece. This book is a superb first-hand account and analysis of the military disaster of 1812 and the characters who played a significant role in it. An eyewitness and participant in the war, Clausewitz' writing remains the most serious source on that campaign. Napoleon's campaign of 1812 against Russia was a crucial event in the Napoleonic history. At the beginning of 1812, Napoleon was at the peak of his glory. On the eve of the Russian campaign the majority of European diplomats thought that Napoleon would emerge victorious. The campaign, however, proved to be disastrous for the French Grand Arme. The Battle of Borodino, with heavy causalities on both sides, was probably the hardest fought battle of the Napoleonic era. Victory at Borodino gained Napoleon entry to Moscow only to end in catastrophe and the retreat of the French army in fall of the same year. The campaign of 1812 against Russia marked the beginning of the end of Napoleon's rule in Europe. Clausewitz is more than a military historian in the traditional sense. His concrete and objective analysis enables him to appreciate the situation in all its political, diplomatic and military ramifications. The Russian Campaign of 1812 will be of interest to historians, political scientists, and students of military history and strategy.
