This is "The Little Clausewitz". A concise and compact guide to studying the classic "On War".

Classics are books you can read over and over again—because they are insightful, thought-provoking, and help you understand the world. With *On War* (1832), Carl von Clausewitz presented the definitive classic on the subject.

“War and Warfare” is a compact pocket study edition of his military theory. Here is the table of contents:

• The Nature and Aims of War
• The Art of War and Theory

“War as the continuation of politics by other means,” the “fog of war” (uncertainty), and “friction” (disruptive factors in battle)—many modern terms and explanations originate from these timelessly important texts by Carl von Clausewitz. Plus in “The Little Clausewitz”: “The Most Important Principles of Warfare” is a treatise from 1812, originally intended as a guide for the Prussian Crown Prince Frederick William—later King Frederick William IV—whom Clausewitz personally tutored.
