Abstract |
Widely recognized as one of the most important theorists of warfare, important strands of Carl von Clausewitz's thinking on the subject are not widely known. In 'Clausewitz on Small War', Christopher Daase and James W. Davis begin to address this unfortunate state of affairs. In this volume they have assembled and translated Clausewitz's most important texts devoted to the analysis of asymetric, unconventional, guerrilla, and small-unit warfare, including Clausewitz's "Lectures on Small War", held at the Prussian War College in 1810 and 1811. |
General note | An English-language edition of Clausewitz's 'Lectures on Small War' held at the Prussian War Academy in 1810 and 1811 as well as other works devoted to the analysis of small unit warfare. |
