Here comes “Little Clausewitz”

Let’s be honest. Some books are just too thick. The problem is, you should still read them. This is *Little Clausewitz*. With it, you can study the classic *On War* in a concise and compact format. Classics are books you can read over and over again—because they’re insightful, thought-provoking, and help you understand the world. Carl published his classic on the subject as early as 1832, and it’s still relevant and very compelling. We now have the ideal solution for you to study it: either read it in one short afternoon or keep it in your breast pocket at all times and read it in small doses—that way, you’ll have more time to reflect.

“On War and Warfare” is a compact pocket study edition of Carl von Clausewitz’s military theory. Here is the main content of our little book:

• The nature and purpose of war
• The art and theory of war
• Military virtues. Army and commander
• War plan. Numerical superiority. Friction in war. Uncertainty of intelligence
• Base of operations. Marches. Fortresses. Mountain warfare
• The skirmish. Casualties. Reserves.
• The main battle. Victory and pursuit
• The lost battle and the retreat
• Defense and attack

And because we know how much you love this stuff, we’ve added a bonus track: The extra in the “Little Clausewitz” is “The Most Important Principles of Warfare,” a treatise from 1812, originally intended as a guide for the future Prussian King Frederick William IV, whom our Clausewitz personally tutored. Top-tier stuff, so to speak. Treat yourselves.
