Название: Clausewitz: His Life and Work Автор(ы): Donald Stoker Издательство: Oxford University Press 2014 Страниц: 377 Язык: English Формат: True PDF Размер: 13 MB
Military historian 's perceptive biography of Carl von Clausewitz moves skillfully between Clausewitz's career as a solider and his work as a theoretician and author, exploring the composition of On War and other works while also emphasizing the many military engagements in which Clausewitz fought. Though Clausewitz certainly spilled his share of ink, he also spilled blood--his as well as that of the enemy. As an officer in the Prussian army, Clausewitz fought in battles from Jena-Auerstedt to Waterloo, as well as the battle of Borodino while serving the Russians. Stoker takes readers through the heat of these battles, providing historical overview and discussing each engagement in detail. Rich context is provided by Clausewitz himself, who wrote abundant letters to his wife and friends throughout his life, and from which Stoker draws extensively.
