Dude, have you read “vom kriege”? Clausewitz can be about as clear and transparant as fucking Nostradamus. I got through the book, then read a second book that explained it and went “It does NOT say that!” about 8 million times.
I have, as part of a course on military history (3000 years ago). I don’t disagree with you at all, it was an absolute fucking slog
Hmm. Sounds like Marx. Maybe it’s a general 19th century German thing.
