On War is one of the most influential books ever written on the subject of conflict.
Its author, Prussian General Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831), is often credited with masterminding what is now known as "complete war" - conflict with the all-out backing of the state, and his teachings have been embraced by figures as diverse as US President Dwight Eisenhower and Lenin.
Focusing on the philosophy of war, Von Clausewitz's book says conflict cannot be waged on a map and devises a series of timeless strategies to defeat the enemy in the most efficient manner possible.
"To introduce into the philosophy of war a principle of moderation would be an absurdity," he wrote.
The masterpiece is presented in this beautifully-produced Apostrophe Books edition with an introduction by Gulf War legend and bestselling author Andy McNab - the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he left the SAS.
During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his commanding officer, 'will remain in regimental history for ever'. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS.
He wrote about his experiences in three books: the phenomenal bestseller Bravo Two Zero, Immediate Action and Seven Troop. He is the author of the bestselling Nick Stone thrillers.
Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence
agencies in both the USA and UK and is on the board of a private security company operating in hazardous environments.
Now Andy McNab has joined forces with ApostropheBooks.com to bring you some of the world's greatest military classics.
