WAR

War is a complex social phenomenon, characterised by organised and reciprocal violence between social units. In his seminal work "On War", Carl Von Clausewitz calls war the "continuation of political intercourse, carried on with other means."[1] War is thus an alternative (and violent) form of political interaction in which two or more groups have a "struggle of wills".[2] War is different from murder, terrorism or genocide because of the reciprocal nature of the struggle, and the organized and political nature of the groups involved.

Clausewitz, what a man, one of the greatest commanders the world ever saw...

Along with Sun Tzu, Clausewitz is a very very skilled commander, I have his book, On war, shame he didn't complete it all though...

I think, You should read the 6th chapter on the primacy on politics again.

I doubt, that You will find any sentimental glorification of warfare or militarism in the works of Clausewitz - but sincere contemplations on the supreme role of an informed and responsible policy.

It is said, that Erich Ludendorff disliked that - as he prefered a 'total war' - unleashed from any political considerations.

This is the disastrous view - not the reflection on warfare within its relation to society !
