The edition, translated and abridged by Howard and Paret with introduction and notes by Beatrice Heuser, is issued within Oxford World’s Classics, emphasizing scholarly reliability and essential commentary.","􀀁􀀂􀀃􀀁􀀄􀀅 􀀆􀀁􀀄􀀇􀀅 ’ 􀀈 􀀉􀀇􀀊􀀈􀀈􀀋􀀉􀀈  \nON WAR  \nC􀀊􀀄􀀇 􀀌􀀁􀀍 C􀀇􀀊􀀎􀀈􀀏􀀆􀀋􀀐􀀑 was born in Burg near Magdeburg in Prussia in 􀀒􀀓􀀔􀀕 . The son of a low-ranking Prussian officer, he was educated as a cadet in the army, and was on active military service in his teens, fighting against France in the French Revolutionary Wars. He studied military history under Gerhard von Scharnhorst, whom he far surpassed intellectually, developing his knowledge of the tactics employed in the great European conflicts of the eighteenth century. In 􀀒􀀔􀀕􀀗 he met Marie, Countess von Brühl, who became his wife in 􀀒􀀔􀀒􀀕 .  \nClausewitz took part in the battles of Jena and Auerstedt in 􀀒􀀔􀀕􀀘 , when Napoleon defeated Prussia, and was briefly imprisoned by the French. On his release he joined Scharnhorst’s commission into the Prussian military, instituting wide-ranging reforms. He witnessed the battles of Smolensk and Borodino during Napoleon’s 􀀒􀀔􀀒􀀙–􀀒􀀗 campaign, fighting briefly on the Russian side, which provided valuable insights for his future work. Clausewitz became the administrative director of the Military Academy in Berlin in 􀀒􀀔􀀒􀀚 , and it was there, between the years 􀀒􀀔􀀒􀀚 and 􀀒􀀔􀀗􀀕 , that he wrote On War. In 􀀒􀀔􀀗􀀕 he was sent to prevent a Polish insurrection; he died of cholera on 􀀒􀀘 November 􀀒􀀔􀀗􀀒 . On War was published by his widow in 􀀒􀀔􀀗􀀙 .  \nM􀀋􀀉􀀛􀀊􀀏􀀇 H􀀁􀀆􀀊􀀄􀀅 is Emeritus Professor of Modern History at both Oxford and Yale universities.
