關於作者
Carl von Clausewitz (1780–1831) was a Prussian general and military theorist renowned for his seminal work, 'On War' (Vom Kriege), which remains one of the most important treatises on military strategy and warfare philosophy to this day. Born in Burg bei Magdeburg, Prussia, Clausewitz entered the Prussian army at the age of twelve and quickly ascended through the ranks, participating in the Napoleonic Wars. His experiences in battle profoundly shaped his intellectual pursuits and writing, leading to his exploration of the complexities of warfare. 'On War' is an unfinished masterpiece, published posthumously by his wife, Marie von Brühl, in 1832. In this magnum opus, Clausewitz presents a theory of war that is rooted in the concept of the 'remarkable trinity'—the interplay between reason, chance, and emotion. He posits the famous dictum that war is a mere continuation of politics by other means, emphasizing the interdependence of political objectives and military tactics. His work transcends the era he lived in, influencing both historical and contemporary military strategic thinking, and has been extensively studied by military leaders and theorists around the world. Clausewitz's literary style in 'On War' is both philosophical and dense, often characterized by its abstraction and insistence on the complex, fluid nature of military conflict. The impact of Clausewitz's ideas on military theory and their perpetual relevance to the studies of strategy and security make him an enduring figure within both historical and modern military scholarship.
