Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831), then General Officer Prussian and Russian armies, wrote in 1816 and 1830 notes to compose his major aeuvre entitled On War.
He died November 16, 1831 from cholera. His wife, Marie von Clausewitz, née Countess Brühl, published from 1832 to 1837 ten volumes of works, some of which had already appeared during the lifetime of Clausewitz. However, "On War" and posthumous remains incompletely written.
This edition of Ivrea / Champ Libre resumes translation Vatry, revises in a spirit of fidelity to the original and classical philosophical terminology, and complete some introductory texts of the hand of the author and Marie von Clausewitz.
