Autorenporträt
Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) was a Prussian general, military strategist, and one of the most important theorists of warfare in history. His treatise On War (Vom Kriege), written posthumously by his widow, has become a foundational text for military theory and political strategy.Born in Burg, Prussia, Clausewitz entered military service at the age of 12, beginning a lifelong commitment to the study and practice of warfare. He participated in the Napoleonic Wars, where he gained firsthand experience in battle and strategic planning. He served under the Prussian and Russian armies, witnessing the devastating effectiveness of Napoleon's military strategies.Clausewitz was not only a soldier but also a scholar. He attended the Prussian War Academy in Berlin, where he studied philosophy, history, and military science. He later became the director of the academy, where his intellectual contributions profoundly shaped military education. His exposure to Enlightenment thought and his deep analysis of past wars contributed to the theoretical framework that he would later develop in On War.One of his most enduring contributions is the idea that war is a political instrument-one that cannot be separated from diplomacy, economics, and societal forces. He introduced key concepts such as the "fog of war," friction, and the balance between political objectives and military means, which remain vital to strategic thinking today.Tragically, Clausewitz died of cholera in 1831 before completing On War. His wife, Marie von Clausewitz, compiled and published his writings, ensuring his intellectual legacy. Today, Clausewitz is studied in military academies, strategic studies programs, and even corporate leadership courses, proving that his ideas extend beyond the battlefield into the realms of business, politics, and human competition.
