Understanding War

Understanding War

Editorial Reviews
Review
Peter Paret is a prominent figure in the revival of [military history]; hence, the publication of his collected essays is a matter of import. . . . There is much in this small book for the soldier as well as the historian. . . . This is, indeed, a valuable book.

Book Description

These essays provide an authoritative introduction to Carl von Clausewitz and enlarge the history of war by joining it to the history of ideas and institutions and linking it with intellectual biography.
