Book ID/图书代码： 00970005B02606
English Summary/英文概要： ’Atlantic Books has achieved a publishing coup with its "Books that Shook the World" series...short biographies of great books, securing the best people to write them and ensuring that the remit to produce compendious, clear and engaged accounts...this series is a big success.’ - A. C. Grayling, "The Times." Rights have been sold in 15 countries. Each volume is a beautifully designed and produced B-format hardback. "On War" by Carl von Clausewitz was first published in Germany after the Napoleonic Wars. One of the most significant treatises on military strategy ever written, it is still prescribed at various military academies today. Its description of ’absolute war’ and its insistence on the centrality of battle to war have been blamed for the level of destruction involved in both the First and Second World Wars. Hew Strachan’s accessible book challenges the popular misconceptions that surround "On War". He dispels the notion that for Clausewitz policy necessarily shapes war, asserting instead that war has its own dynamic and that its reciprocal effects can themselves shape policy. Strachan returns to the very heart of "On War" to recover the arguments at its core, in the process challenging the received wisdom about this cornerstone of military strategy. Hew Strachan is one of the world’s foremost historians of war. His book is a vigorous and timely analysis of von Clausewitz’s seminal treatise. These are from the reviews of The First World War.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 卡尔·冯·克劳塞维茨的《论战争》在拿破仑战争后首次在德国出版。这是有史以来关于军事战略的最重要的论文之一，至今仍是各军事院校的必修课。该书对“绝对战争”的描述，以及对以战斗为中心的坚持，被指责为是导致了第一次和第二次世界大战的伤亡的祸源。休·斯特拉坎的这本通俗易懂的书挑战了围绕着关于战争的普遍误解。他驳斥了克劳塞维茨政策必然会影响战争的观点，而是断言战争有自己的动力，其相互影响本身可以影响政策。斯特拉肯回到了《论战争》的核心，以恢复其核心论点;在这一过程中，对这一军事战略基石的公认智慧提出了挑战。(Sandy)
