Clausewitz and the Politics of War

Open to the Public

Clausewitz's aphorism that "war is merely the continuation of policy by other means" is widely quoted but often misconceived. The author of a new book, War, Clausewitz and the Trinity, Thomas Waldman will clarify the Prussian theorist's insights into the fundamental relationship between war and politics, highlight pitfalls in interpretation, and underline its critical importance for understanding contemporary war.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
