Clausewitz and Contemporary War 1st Edition

"[Clausewitz and Contemporary War] is a thorough analysis that may be useful not only to the military but also to historians, political scientists, and politicians."--Bruno Colson, University of Namur, War in History 18(2) (2011), p. 254.

"Antulio Echevarria's Clausewitz and Contemporary War builds on his significant writings on the work and influence of the Prussian theorist... Echevarria has provided one of the more useful contributions to the Clausewitz canon."--Thomas Bruscino, US Army School of Advanced Military Studies, Joint
Forces Quarterly no. 56 (2010), p. 158.

"Echevarria argues that On War is most readily understood once its 'combat-centric' (p.6) nature is recognized... Clausewitz intended to write a book that would be useful to fighting soldiers... and Echevarria's analysis is basically a demonstration of how On War stacks up once that ambition is
taken seriously."--Daniel Moran, Naval Post Graduate School , Journal of Military History 72 (2) (2008), p. 627.

"Antulio Echevarria is an example of [the tradition of military historians who were at once interested in war and strategy]; and he can tick the box of the (in this context) indispensable knowledge of German and of the historical understanding of German (especially Prussian) culture in the early
nineteenth century."--Beatrice Heuser, University of Reading, RUSI 152(6) (2007), p. 99.
