War, Clausewitz and the Trinity

The book delves into Clausewitz's concept of the 'remarkable trinity'—politics, chance, and passion—as a framework for understanding war. Waldman offers a detailed reinterpretation of Clausewitz's seminal work, On War, alongside his other writings, integrating contemporary scholarship to shed new light on his theories. By revisiting often-overlooked elements of Clausewitz's thought, the author provides fresh insights into the complexities of warfare and the interplay of its fundamental components.
