Autorenportrait
Carl von Clausewitz (17801831) was a Prussian general and military theorist whose writings on the philosophy of war have become foundational in military strategy and theory. Born in Burg bei Magdeburg, Prussia, Clausewitz entered the Prussian Army at the age of 12, and later attended the Kriegsakademie, where he cultivated his interest in military theory. His experiences in the Napoleonic Wars, particularly in the Russian Campaign of 1812, deeply influenced his perspectives on warfare. Clausewitz's magnum opus, 'On War' ('Vom Kriege'), remained unfinished at his death and was published posthumously by his widow. While 'The Campaign of 1812' specifically refers to his analysis of the Napoleonic campaign in Russia, it is but a piece within his larger body of work. Clausewitz's literature is distinguished by its dialectic approach and examination of the complex interplay between political objectives and military means. His assertion that 'war is the continuation of politics by other means' underscores this relationship. Clausewitz's influence extends beyond military affairs; his concepts have been applied to business strategy, political science, and international relations, affirming his lasting impact on strategic thinking.
