*Vom Kriege* is the basic work on the Western way of war. For Clauswitz, war is "politics by other means". It concentrates on defeating the enemy by massing overwhelming force at the enemy's weak point.

“I PROPOSE to consider first the various elements of the subject, next its various parts or sections, and finally the whole in its internal structure.”
Carl Philipp Gottfried (or Gottlieb) von Clausewitz (1 June 1780 – 16 November 1831) was a Prussian general and military theorist who stressed the "moral" (meaning, in modern terms, psychological) and political aspects of war. His most notable work, *Vom Kriege* (On War), was unfinished at his death. Clausewitz was a realist in many different senses and, while in some respects a romantic, also drew heavily on the rationalist ideas of the European Enlightenment. **Source**: [Carl von Clausewitz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_von_Clausewitz) on Wikipedia.
