About this audiobook

Carl von Clausewitz (1780 - 1831) war Soldat und wurde in jungen Jahren geprägt durch die Kriege Napoleons und die Befreiungskriege (1813 - 1815). Er war aber auch Philosoph und Psychologe. Seine Abhandlung "Vom Kriege" macht ihn zum eigentlichen Begründer der modernen Kriegslehre. Er definierte Taktik und Strategie und formulierte das Verhältnis von Politik und Krieg. ("Der Krieg ist die Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln".)

Die Thesen in diesem Werk können auf viele Bereiche übertragen werden: klare Zielformulierungen am Anfang, Festschreiben der Strategie zum Erreichen der Ziele sind aktuelle Vorgehensweisen z. B. im Wirtschaftsleben.

Das Originalwerk wurde von den Clausewitz-Kennern Wilhelm Ritter von Schramm. Wofgang Pickert gab das Werk 1963 stark verdichtet als Rowohlt Taschenbuch heraus. 2006 hat er dieses Taschenbuch nochmals an einigen Stellen gekürzt und die Anmerkungen der Herausgeber überarbeitet, um es als Hörbuch vorzustellen.

Carl von Clausewitz

Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) was a Prussian military officer and military theorist. Born to a family of nobles from Upper Silesia, Clausewitz followed his father’s footsteps by entering military service as a lance-corporal at a young age. He served in several major conflicts throughout his life, including the Rhine Campaigns and the Napoleonic Wars, and eventually reached the rank of general. In 1801, he went to Berlin to enter the Kriegsakademie, where he studied philosophy and the history and tactics of warfare, research which would lead to his work On War (1832), a treatise on the moral, political, and social aspects of warfare. In 1810, he married the aristocrat and socialite Countess Marie von Brühl, a highly educated and driven woman who would oversee the posthumous publication of his most important work, On War, editing Clausewitz’s manuscript and writing the introduction. Clausewitz was a decorated and ambitious soldier and leader, serving both the Prussian and Imperial Russian Armies in campaigns throughout Europe, as well as spearheading efforts to contain the cholera outbreak that would eventually take his life. His theory of war is still studied by scholars and military officials today, and is noted for its philosophical outlook and definition of war as an extension of political policy.
