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

CHAPTER I. Strategy

OBSERVATION

1. POSSIBLE COMBATS ARE ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR RESULTS TO BE LOOKED UPON AS REAL ONES
