Clausewitz's philosophical treatise "On War" is one of the classics on military strategy. Clausewitz was a Prussian general in the Napoleonic Wars having served in both the Russian and Prussian armies against Napoleon. He managed to condense his experience into a "scientific" analysis of war and strategy. The principles he describes are still applicable today.

This eBook was formatted for the Sony Reader. That format works relatively well if read in Adobe Acrobat, but to make the text more Reader on the Sony I had to bold the type.

I had trouble settling on a prefix for Clausewitz. The work is probably of most interest to historians, political scientists and military scientists. It isn't really history though and there's no place to list military science, so I used "Other."
