This book sets out to shed new light on the origins and nature of modern military thinking. The ideas of Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831), which remain at the heart of strategic analysis today, have hitherto been examined in isolation from their cultural and philosophical roots in the 18th century. In this study, the author examines the extent to which culture affects military theory. He relates a series of military thinkers to their cultural background, and contrasts the worldview of the Enlightenment with that of the German Movement. He provides a critique of Clausewitz's classic work "On War" and demonstrates how the major currents of modern military thought have evolved from the cultural frameworks and historical outlooks of the German movement and the Enlightenment. In the process, the book offers an insight into a great period of European culture and into warfare during the Napoleonic Age.
