ON WAR (VOM KRIEGE) - CARL VON CLAUSEWITZ TASCH...

On War is one of the most important treatises on political-military analysis and strategy ever
written  and remains both controversial and influential on strategic thinking. It was written
by Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz  after the Napoleonic wars  between 1816 and 1830.
Clausewitz had set about revising his accumulated manuscripts  but did not live to finish the
task. On War represents his theoretical explorations. Clausewitz analyzed the conflicts of his
time along the line of the categories Purpose  Goal and Means. He reasoned that the Purpose of
war is one's will to be enforced  which is determined by politics. The Goal of the conflict is
therefore to defeat the opponent in order to exact the Purpose. The Goal is pursued with the
help of a strategy that might be brought about by various Means such as by the defeat or the
elimination of opposing armed forces or by non-military Means (such as propaganda  economic
sanctions and political isolation). Thus  any resource ofthe human body and mind and all the
moral and physical powers of a state might serve as Means to achieve the set goal.
