On War

By: Carl von Clausewitz

Narrated by: David Timson, Lucy Scott

"War is a mere continuation of policy by other means."

A classic work of military strategy, On War sets forth the theories and tactics of Carl von Clausewitz, a distinguished Prussian general who was notable for his roles in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The book covers a broad range of topics, including weapons, terrain, troops, and leadership, as well as the importance of defense over offence, the balance of power, and the subordination of war to politics. Praised for its timeless insights, Clausewitz’s treatise is often compared to the work of Machiavelli and Sun Tzu, and remains relevant to military leaders today.

Masterpiece.

The book had a slow start at first but once you climb that hill the pace starts to pick up quick and a lot of information is thrown at you . This book is a gem when it comes to warfare, it’s like taking a course. So much detail and anecdotes to give examples of the methods spoken about. It reminds me of the Seven Military Classics Of Ancient China. I definitely recommend

Good book.

Good book. Terrible narrator. Good book. Terrible narrator. Good book. Terrible narrator. Good book. Terrible narrator. Needs a better narrator

A must for students of strategy

It has the best introduction to any book, ever in my opinion. The first two books and the last one are a great read to everyone studying strategy. But the core of the book is only relevant for those studying specifics of war or history. I had to skip those because I couldn't find any value for me.

voice hard to decipher

Very hard to understand the pronunciation of this performer with a deep gravely baritone, a widely varying cadence, and wide volume range.
