	Clausewitz FAQs
		Carl Phillip Gottfried (or Gottlieb) von Clausewitz (1780-1831) was a Prussian soldier and intellectual.
		Clausewitz's fame is largely due to the importance and influence of his magnum opus, On War, unquestionably the most important single work ever written on the theory of warfare and of strategy, although both the book and its impact have been interpreted and misinterpreted in wildly varying ways.
		However, Clausewitz's tombstone clearly gives the name as "Carl Philipp Gottfried von Clausewitz." While fog and friction pervade all human activities, we are inclined to believe that Clausewitz's family—especially the devoted Marie—would have demanded that his monument reflect their own opinion on the matter.

	Carl von Clausewitz
		But Clausewitz's ideas were recognized and taught in North America, and many of the European soldiers who fought in the Civil War were very familiar with his writings.
		Clausewitz was not so concerned with tactics and the correctness of operational doctrines as were other military theorists of his day; he was most concerned with the grand strategy of warfare.
		Based on his logic and realism regarding the science of war, he advocated the concept of total war, in which all of the nation's wealth and resources would be brought to bear in destroying not only the enemy's armies, but its property and citizens as well.

	Carl von Clausewitz and Antoine-Henri Jomini and Military Strategy
		Carl von Clausewitz and Jomini's military careers were similar in many respects.
		Clausewitz also was an early student of strategy and relied on similar empirical experience to develop and nurture his theories.
		Ironically, while Clausewitz's view that politics must play a key role in military strategy is generally accepted as correct, many would argue that the failure to adhere to this Jomini principle was one of the main failures of the Viet Nam grand strategy.

	Clausewitz Introduction
		Carl von Clausewitz as a man is as worthy of consideration as the work itself.

	Carl von Clausewitz
		Clausewitz became one of the leaders of Prussian Army reform under Scharnhorst but resigned his commission on the eve of Napoleon's invasion of Russia (1812) and, like other German patriots, entered Russian service.
		By means of a lengthy discussion of a variety of situations likely to confront the military leader, Clausewitz tried to develop in his reader a theoretically founded military judgment, capable of weighing all pertinent factors in a given situation.
		Clausewitz was studied closely by his countrymen and left his imprint on German military thought, but his influence on actual German strategy has been overrated.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Spring 2006
		Clausewitz used both “laws” and “theories” in his book, and consequently one can take away the erroneous impression that he was uncertain about whether one could develop a science of war.
		Clausewitz’s statement in 1809 might well be echoed by a generation of military leaders schooled in techniques of conventional war as they try to come to grips with the reality of insurgency and transnational terrorism.
		Clausewitz’s method is comparative in a dual sense: he moves back and forth from theory to practice, and from the general to the particular.

		Carl von Clausewitz is one of the most quoted authors on War by US Military Generals and Spokesmen.
		Carl Von Clausewitz talks only slightly about this and it appears that wars were rational and part of life in his day and time, and many generals would lead armies throughout their life on different sides and different leaders, yet today's terrorist war is different and therefore we should be looking into other possibilities.
		In von Clausewitz theory war can only be waged in certain circumstances and therefore we need to change the rules and fight when a where we desire to stop terrorism now and forever.

	Carl von Clausewitz
		In 1803, on Scharnhorst's recommendation, Clausewitz was made adjutant to Prince August, and he served in this capacity in the campaign of Jena (1806), being captured along with the prince by the French at Prenzlau.
		It was Clausewitz who negotiated the convention of Tauroggen, which separated the cause of Yorck's Prussians from that of the French, and began the War of Liberation.

		Clausewitz believes that war is greatly influenced by the individuals fighting it, and by chance occurrences that may sway it.

		The Prussian military thinker Carl von Clausewitz is widely acknowledged as the most important of the major strategic theorists.

	Carl von Clausewitz - On Civilization - Planet Civilization
		The answer is simple: Carl von Clausewitz is still relevant for warfare, and yes, he is even relevant for Civilization.
		Thus, to achieve your goal, you have to use all the force that is available to you, as the enemy will try to match it with whatever he has available.
		I personally disagree and believe that the English word “politics” is more suitable to what Clausewitz meant, because policy is an extension of politics, a grander strategy so to say.
