Editorial Reviews
Review
Peter Paret is arguably the world's leading scholar on Clausewitz. . . . Here he has collected essays published over a lifetime of scholarship on Clausewitz and the history and institutions of war. They display his characteristic attention to detail, awareness of the larger context, insightful comments, and readable style. -- L. L. Farrar, Jr., History: Reviews of New Books
Peter Paret is a prominent figure in the revival of [military history]; hence, the publication of his collected essays is a matter of import. . . . There is much in this small book for the soldier as well as the historian. . . . This is, indeed, a valuable book. -- Edward M. Coffman, Parameters
