In this book, Waldman explores Clausewitz's central theoretical device for understanding war - the 'remarkable trinity' of politics, chance, and passion. Through an in-depth reinterpretation of On War and Clausewitz's other writings, conducted through the prism of the trinity and in the light of contemporary scholarship on war, this book draws on existing studies to present fresh perspectives into aspects of Clausewitz's thought and emphasizes elements of his theory that have often been neglected.
Contents: Foreword by Colin S. Gray; Preface; Introduction; Theoretical foundations; Context and circumstance; Politics: war as an instrument; Chance: the realm of uncertainty; Passion: the blind natural force; Interactions: the trinity as a unity; Reflections; Bibliography; Index.
