Carl von Clausewitz  

Définition

  • Carl von Clausewitz was a Prussian officer and a prolific military theorist who is most famous for writing On War, an eight-volume work that attempted to capture what he called objective or universally valid knowledge of war. While Clausewitz's contemporaries sought to address the uncertainty of war by establishing general guidelines or principles, he endeavored to enhance a military commander's judgment by developing a corpus of verifiable knowledge of war that could be used as a foundation or reference.
