On War
A Classics, Military, Philosophy book. (1) War becomes a completely isolated act, which arises suddenly, and is in no way...
Carl von Clausewitz was a 19th century military theorist who drew many of his ideas from his own experience as a Prussian soldier.

Nevertheless, the author stresses war as a political action that must be ruthless and uncompromising in its annihilation of the enemy.
