| |  | | | In Brief
This book contends that Clausewitz's theory of war does not apply to the circumstances of contemporary conflict. The author's "theme is that low-intensity conflict (LIC)--terrorism, guerrilla warfare, civil strife--has rendered obsolete the large-scale conventional wars for which soldiers now train. . . . Mr. van Creveld sees the decline of the nation-state but not the decline of armed conflict--thus the need for a new guide to strategic thought." (Natl Rev) Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
At a time when uprecedented change in international affairs is forcing governments, citizens, and armed forces everywhere to re-assess the question of whether military solutions to political problems are possible any longer. Martin van Creveld has written an audacious searching examination of the nature of war and of its radical transformation in our own time.
| | | | Annotation
Since Clausewitz, was has been considered a rational extension of politics by nations seeking to advance their interests. Now, in this sweeping reassessment of the ends and means of war, Martin van Creveld advances a new understanding of what was is today, and for what that it's fought.

Van Creveld takes a position against Clausewitz's assumption that war is rational, arguing that modern technology and techniques of terrorism and guerilla warfare have created conditions that exceed rational analysis
