Summary:	The text ofOn Warand the context in which the work was written, the social, cultural, and political environment as defined by Clausewitz’s experiences, are two separate subjects of study, even as each bears on the other.¹ The biographical information contained in Clausewitz’s letters and service documents, and in the correspondence and memoirs of contemporaries, followed by the findings of nearly two centuries of research and interpretation, tell us a great deal, if still not as much as we would like, of his life and the stages in which he erected the structure of his theoretical perception of war.
