Sobre IBD

For over a century, Carl von Clausewitz’s On War has been revered as the foundational text of modern strategy. Yet, few have actually read it, and even fewer have understood it. Myths about Clausewitz-such as the tale of Abraham Lincoln drawing inspiration from On War-have eclipsed the reality of his life and the depth of his ideas.This book sets the record straight. Rather than celebrating Clausewitz as a war-mongering Prussian prophet or dismissing him as obsolete, it restores his work by placing it in historical context and making it accessible to modern readers.Written for a wide audience-from curious civilians to military professionals-this book unpacks Clausewitz’s famously complex arguments, explains why his dialectical method confuses so many, and demonstrates why his insights remain urgently relevant today. It dismantles decades of misinterpretation and politicization while offering a clear-eyed guide through his core concepts: friction, the trinity, political purpose, and military genius.Neither a biography nor a primer, Restoring Clausewitz is a fitting companion volume for those who want to read On War with insight and precision. For anyone serious about understanding war and strategy, this book is a crucial-and readable-starting point.*This book is in the Rapid Communications in Conflict and Security (RCCS) Series (General Editor: Thomas G. Mahnken; Founding Editor: Geoffrey R.H. Burn) https://www.cambriapress.com/rccsbooks.cfm
