Prussian Strategic Thought 1815â1830: Beyond Clausewitz
Series: - History of Warfare, Volume: 131
Author:
Carl von Clausewitz is still considered one of the most important writers on military strategy. In Prussian Military Thought 1815-1830: Beyond Clausewitz , Jacek JÄdrysiak offers a new perspective on the context of his legacy, with a detailed analysis of Prussian military thought after the Napoleonic wars and an examination of the development of certain institutions, such as the General Staff, leading to a more nuanced understanding of Clausewitzâs work. The dominance of the famous figures of Clausewitz and Helmuth von Moltke the Elder has obscured much about the Prussian army in the 19th century. In this study, Jacek JÄdrysiak reveals the forgotten face of the Prussian army.
Jacek JÄdrysiak , Ph.D. (2014), University of WrocÅaw, is an Assistant Professor in the Historical Institute at that university. He is an author of many articles about the Prussian army, and is editor-in-chief of the military journal PrzeglÄ
d Historyczno-Wojskowy (Military-Historical Review).
