On War

Military operations and methods are explained in depth by Carl von Clausewitz in this superbly presented edition of On War. Also known by its German title Vom Kriege, this book is a masterwork of military strategy which walks the reader through elements of tactics, strategy, unit organisation and deployment, battlefield layouts, and much more. Although dating to the 19th century, many of the lessons remain poignant and relevant to this day - theory of conflict, and phenomena such as the 'Fog of War', remain important parts of military theory.
