INTRODUCTION
NOTICE
THE INTRODUCTION OF THE AUTHOR
BRIEF MEMOIR OF GENERAL CLAUSEWITZ (BY TRANSLATOR)
BOOK I. ON THE NATURE OF WAR
CHAPTER I. What is War?
1. INTRODUCTION
2. DEFINITION
3. UTMOST USE OF FORCE
4. THE AIM IS TO DISARM THE ENEMY
5. UTMOST EXERTION OF POWERS
6. MODIFICATION IN THE REALITY
7. WAR IS NEVER AN ISOLATED ACT
8. WAR DOES NOT CONSIST OF A SINGLE INSTANTANEOUS BLOW
9. THE RESULT IN WAR IS NEVER ABSOLUTE
10. THE PROBABILITIES OF REAL LIFE TAKE THE PLACE OF THE CONCEPTIONS OF THE EXTREME AND THE ABSOLUTE
11. THE POLITICAL OBJECT NOW REAPPEARS
12. A SUSPENSION IN THE ACTION OF WAR UNEXPLAINED BY ANYTHING SAID AS YET
13. THERE IS ONLY ONE CAUSE WHICH CAN SUSPEND THE ACTION, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE ONLY POSSIBLE ON ONE SIDE IN ANY CASE
14. THUS A CONTINUANCE OF ACTION WILL ENSUE WHICH WILL ADVANCE TOWARDS A CLIMAX
15. HERE, THEREFORE, THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY IS BROUGHT INTO REQUISITION
16. ATTACK AND DEFENCE ARE THINGS DIFFERING IN KIND AND OF UNEQUAL FORCE. POLARITY IS, THEREFORE, NOT APPLICABLE TO THEM
17. THE EFFECT OF POLARITY IS OFTEN DESTROYED BY THE SUPERIORITY OF THE DEFENCE OVER THE ATTACK, AND THUS THE SUSPENSION OF ACTION IN WAR IS EXPLAINED
18 A SECOND GROUND CONSISTS IN THE IMPERFECT KNOWLEDGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES
19. FREQUENT PERIODS OF INACTION IN WAR REMOVE IT FURTHER FROM THE ABSOLUTE, AND MAKE IT STILL MORE A CALCULATION OF PROBABILITIES
20. THEREFORE, THE ELEMENT OF CHANCE ONLY IS WANTING TO MAKE OF WAR A GAME, AND IN THAT ELEMENT IT IS LEAST OF ALL DEFICIENT
21. WAR IS A GAME BOTH OBJECTIVELY AND SUBJECTIVELY
22. HOW THIS ACCORDS BEST WITH THE HUMAN MIND IN GENERAL
23. WAR IS ALWAYS A SERIOUS MEANS FOR A SERIOUS OBJECT. ITS MORE PARTICULAR DEFINITION
24. WAR IS A MERE CONTINUATION OF POLICY BY OTHER MEANS
25. DIVERSITY IN THE NATURE OF WARS
26. THEY MAY ALL BE REGARDED AS POLITICAL ACTS
27. INFLUENCE OF THIS VIEW ON THE RIGHT UNDERSTANDING OF MILITARY HISTORY, AND ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF THEORY
28. RESULT FOR THEORY
CHAPTER II. Ends and Means in War
CHAPTER III. The Genius for War
CHAPTER IV. Of Danger in War
CHAPTER V. Of Bodily Exertion in War
CHAPTER VI. Information in War
CHAPTER VII. Friction in War
CHAPTER VIII. Concluding Remarks, Book I
BOOK II. ON THE THEORY OF WAR
CHAPTER I. Branches of the Art of War
CHAPTER II. On the Theory of War
1. THE FIRST CONCEPTION OF THE “ART OF WAR” WAS MERELY THE PREPARATION OF THE ARMED FORCES
2. TRUE WAR FIRST APPEARS IN THE ART OF SIEGES
3. THEN TACTICS TRIED TO FIND ITS WAY IN THE SAME DIRECTION
4. THE REAL CONDUCT OF WAR ONLY MADE ITS APPEARANCE INCIDENTALLY AND INCOGNITO
5. REFLECTIONS ON MILITARY EVENTS BROUGHT ABOUT THE WANT OF A THEORY
6. ENDEAVOURS TO ESTABLISH A POSITIVE THEORY
7. LIMITATION TO MATERIAL OBJECTS
8. SUPERIORITY OF NUMBERS
9. VICTUALLING OF TROOPS
10. BASE
11. INTERIOR LINES
12. ALL THESE ATTEMPTS ARE OPEN TO OBJECTION
13. AS A RULE THEY EXCLUDE GENIUS
14. THE DIFFICULTY OF THEORY AS SOON AS MORAL QUANTITIES COME INTO CONSIDERATION
15. THE MORAL QUANTITIES MUST NOT BE EXCLUDED IN WAR
16. PRINCIPAL DIFFICULTY OF A THEORY FOR THE CONDUCT OF WAR
17. FIRST SPECIALITY.—MORAL FORCES AND THEIR EFFECTS. (HOSTILE FEELING.)
18. THE IMPRESSIONS OF DANGER. (COURAGE.)
19. EXTENT OF THE INFLUENCE OF DANGER
20. OTHER POWERS OF FEELING
21. PECULIARITY OF MIND
22. FROM THE DIVERSITY IN MENTAL INDIVIDUALITIES ARISES THE DIVERSITY OF WAYS LEADING TO THE END
23. SECOND PECULIARITY.—LIVING REACTION
24. THIRD PECULIARITY.—UNCERTAINTY OF ALL DATA
25. POSITIVE THEORY IS IMPOSSIBLE
26. MEANS LEFT BY WHICH A THEORY IS POSSIBLE (THE DIFFICULTIES ARE NOT EVERYWHERE EQUALLY GREAT)
27. THEORY MUST BE OF THE NATURE OF OBSERVATIONS NOT OF DOCTRINE
28. BY THIS POINT OF VIEW THEORY BECOMES POSSIBLE, AND CEASES TO BE IN CONTRADICTION TO PRACTICE
29. THEORY THEREFORE CONSIDERS THE NATURE OF ENDS AND MEANS—ENDS AND MEANS IN TACTICS
30. CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH ALWAYS ATTEND THE APPLICATION OF THE MEANS
31. LOCALITY
32. TIME OF DAY
33. WEATHER
34. END AND MEANS IN STRATEGY
35. CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH ATTEND THE APPLICATION OF THE MEANS OF STRATEGY
36. THESE FORM NEW MEANS
37. STRATEGY DEDUCES ONLY FROM EXPERIENCE THE ENDS AND MEANS TO BE EXAMINED
38. HOW FAR THE ANALYSIS OF THE MEANS SHOULD BE CARRIED
39. GREAT SIMPLIFICATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
40. THIS EXPLAINS THE RAPID GROWTH OF GREAT GENERALS, AND WHY A GENERAL IS NOT A MAN OF LEARNING
41. FORMER CONTRADICTIONS
42. ON THIS ACCOUNT ALL USE OF KNOWLEDGE WAS DENIED, AND EVERYTHING ASCRIBED TO NATURAL TALENTS
43. THE KNOWLEDGE MUST BE MADE SUITABLE TO THE POSITION
44. THE KNOWLEDGE IN WAR IS VERY SIMPLE, BUT NOT, AT THE SAME TIME, VERY EASY
45. OF THE NATURE OF THIS KNOWLEDGE
46. SCIENCE MUST BECOME ART
CHAPTER III. Art or Science of War
1.—USAGE STILL UNSETTLED (POWER AND KNOWLEDGE. SCIENCE WHEN MERE KNOWING; ART, WHEN DOING, IS THE OBJECT.)
2. DIFFICULTY OF SEPARATING PERCEPTION FROM JUDGMENT (ART OF WAR.)
3. WAR IS PART OF THE INTERCOURSE OF THE HUMAN RACE
4. DIFFERENCE
CHAPTER IV. Methodicism
CHAPTER V. Criticism
CHAPTER VI. On Examples
BOOK III. OF STRATEGY IN GENERAL

OBSERVATION
