About This Novel
"On War" is hailed as a classic of modern Western military theory. It played a major role in the formation and development of modern Western military thought and is hailed as one of the 100 books that influenced the course of history. In the book, the author reveals the subordinate nature of war to politics, points out the role of human factors, especially spiritual power, explains the historical trend of the transformation of the nature of war into popular war, explores the dialectical relationship between strategy and tactics, offense and defense, and the purpose and means of war, and puts forward theories such as concentrating superior forces to annihilate the enemy. "War is a tool of politics; war inevitably has political characteristics... War by its very nature is politics itself, and politics is represented here by the 'sword', but that does not stop thinking according to its own laws." Regarding Clausewitz's argument, Lenin once gave a very high evaluation and called Clausewitz "a very famous writer of war philosophy and war history."
