Now historian Peter HofschrÖer brings forward a long-repressed commentary written by Carl von Clausewitz, the author of \u003ci\u003eOn War.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClausewitz, the Western world’s most renowned military theorist, participated in the Waterloo campaign as a senior staff officer in the Prussian army. His appraisal, offered here in an up-to-date and readable translation, criticized the Duke of Wellington’s actions. Lord Liverpool sent his translation of the manuscript to Wellington, who pronounced it a “lying work.” The translated commentary was quickly buried in Wellington’s private papers, where it languished for a century and a half. Now published for the first time in English, HofschrÖer brings Clausewitz’s critique back into view with thorough annotation and contextual explanation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeter HofschrÖer, long recognized as a leading scholar of the Napoleonic Wars, shows how the Duke prevented the account’s publication during his lifetime-a manipulation of history so successful that almost two centuries passed before Clausewitz’s work reemerged, finally permitting a reappraisal of key events in the campaign. In addition to translating and annotating Clausewitz’s critique, HofschrÖer also includes an order of battle and an extensive bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52551745798424,"sku":"9780806169040","price":19.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/on-wellington-a-critique-of-waterloo-paperback-softback-9780806169040","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
