{"product_id":"9798216061854","title":"Clausewitz Reconsidered","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis fascinating book assesses Prussian military thinker Carl von Clausewitz's famous theory on warfare in relation to historical and modern-day conflict—and future trends.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarl von Clausewitz's \u003ci\u003eOn War\u003c\/i\u003e is arguably the most important single work ever written on the theory of warfare and military strategy. In \u003ci\u003eClausewitz Reconsidered\u003c\/i\u003e, two prominent military historians assess his theories, examining their viability at a time when asymmetric warfare and \"war\" conducted by and against nonstate actors is increasingly common and state control often ephemeral.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe basis of the book's analysis is an examination of war over the last four centuries, since the Thirty Years' War, including the Cold War and subsequent conflicts. What is discovered is that war is far more endemic and brutal today than when Clausewitz tried to explain it. This volume explores that paradox and shows that if anything, we can anticipate further uncontrolled violence. The authors conclude that Clausewitz and \u003ci\u003eOn War\u003c\/i\u003e have assumed a status akin to holy writ, but are obviously dated. The aim of \u003ci\u003eClausewitz Reconsidered\u003c\/i\u003e is to bring the master's theories up to date, providing the current generation with a new basis for thought and analysis.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46608983064817,"sku":"9798216061854","price":23.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9798216061854_p0.jpg?v=1765901410","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9798216061854","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
