"In the beginning, Clausewitz wrote to change an army; in the end, he wrote as devils chewed his soul. No happy man thinks deeply or writes well." (p.xvii)
"Clausewitz had the gift that comes to few men of seeing clearly then drwaing universal conclusiosn from the partiality of experience. Intuitively, he spotted relationships where others saw only disparate events and sensed the constants underlying the disruptions of his age." (p. xi)
