About the Author:

Roger Parkinson, author of The Peninsular War and Tormented Warrior, lives in England.

Review:

Mr. Parkinson has recounted in extraordinary, lucid detail the politics, the battles, the spectacles, the historical roots of Clausewitz' theories, and the theories themselves. (Christopher Lehmann-Haupt The New York Times)

An excellent and much needed biography of the man whose oft-quoted and frequently misunderstood masterpiece, On War, has long been considered the outstanding military text of modern times. (Publishers Weekly)

A searching critical rendering of Clausewitz' ideas... and a vivid and detailed evocation of the period. (Los Angeles Times)

Military intellectuals and professionals will be delighted. (Military Review)

Scrutinizing Clausewitz's life and ideas in the keenest detail, Clausewitz: A Biography is a classic and highly scholarly study of military theory, as well as a straightforward and very strongly recommended presentation of a great leader's life. (Midwest Book Review)
