This edition of Carl von Clausewitz's Two Letters on Strategy was made possible by the Army War College Foundation and by the Art of War Colloquium of the Army War College, which sponsors the volume as part of its program of republishing military classics for the professional development of the officer corps. The Army War College wishes to express its gratitude to the co-editors and translators, Professor Peter Paret, Spruance Professor of International History at Stanford University, and Dr. Daniel Moran. In recent years, Carl von Clausewitz's On War has attracted many new readers in this country, stimulated in large part by the publication in 1976 of a new translation and edition of the work by Professors Michael Howard and Peter Paret. Generally readers have concentrated on Clausewitz's philosophy, theory, and strategic concepts, as developed in Books One, Two, Three, and Eight of On War. His views on operations, on the other hand, have been largely neglected. The present work provides us with an opportunity to study Clausewitz's thinking on operational issues in a specific strategic context. Two Letters on Strategy deals with the planning and conduct of a campaign, based on problems set by the Chief of Prussian General Staff in 1827.

Clausewitz and Modern Strategy is the first-ever volume devoted to the influence and interpretation of Clausewitz' On War to be published in the English language. Among all the better-known works on military theory in Western civilization, it is Carl von Clausewitz' magnum opus that has been able to withstand every kind of political, social, economic, and technological change since it first appeared in 1832 and will always remain of more than purely historical interest. This collection of essays, first presented at an international conference on Clausewitz at the US Army War College in April 1985, spans every possible aspect of Clausewitz' influence. It is grouped into three parts. The first addresses the issue of whether an early nineteenth-century book on war is still pertinent today in an era when war - more than any other human activity - has been revolutionized by modern technology. In the second part, analyses are made of selected theoretical concepts and other specific subjects discussed by Clausewitz, ranging from chance and uncertainty, space and time, and intelligence in war to guerrilla warfare. The final part takes a critical look at Clausewitz' influence on the development of strategic doctrines in several European countries, as well as the degree to which his theories were not only understood but misunderstood by various military thinkers. In many instances, Clausewitz' readers interpreted his ideas out of context and selectively employed his theories to match their own preconceived notions. Like many other works on political theory and philosophy, On War is not always easy to read and understand. Clausewitz and Modern Strategy provides an excellent introduction to the complex world of Clauswitzian thought, offering a better overall understanding of Clausewitz' key concepts, his system of thinking, and his influence on the study of modern war. It is indispensable reading for all students, military historians, strategic analysts and thinkers.

"First published by Princeton in 1943, the collection of essays that constituted Makers of Modern Strategy has largely held the field as the key book that studied the means and ends of military power and thought, and the historical figures that shaped that history. The books, in two editions, have long been a staple of Princeton's backlist in international politics and strategic studies. The first edition, edited by Edward Mead Earle and subtitled Military Thought from Machiavelli to Hitler, emerged out of a seminar of foreign policy and security experts organized between Princeton and the Institute of Advanced Study in reaction to World War II as a global conflict. The subsequent edition, edited by Peter Paret, then at Stanford University, was prepared in the early 1980s and subtitled From Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age. In that edition, three essays were reprinted from the earlier book, four others were revised, and the remainder-twenty-two essays-were wholly new, to reflect the updates in the field and also how the global political context had changed. The two books together are regarded as the founding and leading text in military and strategic studies, containing influential essays by many of the best-known scholars of the subject. The ambition of the new volume is to commission an entirely new edition of this classic reference work, with 37 chapters organized into 5 sections covering key military leaders and the most important elements of strategic thinking since Thucydides and Sun Tzu. The field of strategic and military history has witnessed an intellectual renaissance in recent decades, as the number of strategic challenges faced by the world has grown enormously. International politics has also changed. The Cold War ended and the Soviet Union disappeared. The United States entered a period of unipolarity, only to see it challenged by the rise of new powers, China in particular. Terrorism, civil wars, so-called "rogue states," insurgency and counter-insurgency, and cybersecurity all joined a growing list of strategic concerns. New technologies promise to upend our understanding of conflict. Furthermore, scholars have learned more about earlier periods, from the classic thinkers of strategy to the struggles of great power war to the dynamics of world politics during the Cold War. Finally, scholarship on international politics, war, and peace in the 20th century and after has become increasingly internationalized, with the opening of new archives and the incorporation of new perspectives. The aim of this volume is to serve as an overview and stimulant to research in this field, one that encompasses the broader definitions of strategy in current research, reflects the current state of world politics, and also takes a more global and less Western perspective"--Publisher's description.

"Authoritative and convincing."—New York Times Book Review The classic reference on the theory and practice of war The essays in this volume analyze war, its strategic characterisitics, and its political and social functions over the past five centuries. The diversity of its themes and the broad perspectives applied to them make the book a work of general history as much as a history of the theory and practice of war from the Renaissance to the present. Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age takes the first part of its title from an earlier collection of essays that became a classic of historical scholarship. Three essays are repinted from the earlier book while four others have been extensively revised. The rest—twenty-two essays—are new. The subjects addressed range from major theorists and political and military leaders to impersonal forces. Machiavelli, Clausewitz, and Marx and Engels are discussed, as are Napoleon, Churchill, and Mao. Other essays trace the interaction of theory and experience over generations—the evolution of American strategy, for instance, or the emergence of revolutionary war in the modern world. Still others analyze the strategy of particular conflicts—the First and Second World Wars—or the relationship between technology, policy, and war in the nuclear age. Whatever its theme, each essay places the specifics of military thought and action in their political, social, and economic environment. Together, the contributors have produced a book that reinterprets and illuminates war, one of the most powerful forces in history and one that cannot be controlled in the future without an understanding of its past.

This carefully researched book provides an operational level analysis of European warfare from 1792 to 1815 that includes the tactics, operations, and strategy of major conflicts of the time. 2015 marks the 200th anniversary of the famous Waterloo campaign, sparking a renewed interest in Napoleon's prowess as a military leader and acumen as a strategist. This in-depth analysis scrutinizes the complex campaigns and strategies of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, looking at how military genius—referred to in the book as "operational art"—shaded the panorama of 18th-century warfare. Drawing upon familiar battles as well as lesser-known campaigns, this sweeping reference uses 20th-century military theory to explain 19th-century events. Author John T. Kuehn discusses joint warfare and strategy found in the military movements of Marshal Suvorov in Italy and Switzerland in 1799; the early and later campaigns of Napoleon and Nelson; and the Duke of Wellington's campaigns in Spain, Portugal, and Belgium. The work also includes an entire chapter on theory and history of operational art spanning a variety of perspectives—from theorist Carl von Clausewitz to American air force pilot John Boyd. This book is a must-have for any military history collection.
