Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:

On War is the most significant attempt in Western history to understand war, both in its internal dynamics and as an instrument of policy. Since the work's first appearance in 1832, it has been read throughout the world, and has stimulated generations of soldiers, statesmen, and intellectuals.

In his famous treatise, Carl von Clausewitz may be said to have distilled Napoleon into theory.
