(James John) Graham, James John On War Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_War Produced by Charles Keller and David Widger "On War" by Carl von Clausewitz is a philosophical treatise on military strategy and the nature of warfare written in the early 19th century. The work addresses the concept of war as a means to achieve political objectives, outlining its inherent complexities and the balance between military actions and political aims. The opening of "On War" presents an introduction that contextualizes the significance of warfare in relation to political objectives, particularly within the European landscape of the time. Clausewitz emphasizes that war is an act of violence aimed at compelling the adversary to fulfill one's will and examines the psychological and social underpinnings that lead nations into war. He discusses the necessity of understanding not just the immediate military goals, but also the broader political context, setting the stage for a comprehensive analysis of warfare that blends strategy, morality, and the dynamics of power.
