<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Originally published in 1976, <i>Clausewitz and the State</i> presents a comprehensive analysis of one of the significant thinkers of modern Europe. Peter Paret combines social and military history and psychological interpretation with a study of Clausewitz's military theories and of his unduly neglected historical and political writing. <p/> This timely new edition includes a preface which allows Paret to recount the past thirty years of discussion on Clausewitz and respond to critics. A companion volume to Clausewitz's On War, this book is indispensable to anyone interested in Clausewitz and his theories, and their proper historical context.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for the original edition: A major scholarly achievement.<b>---T.C.W.
