Abstract

Faire l'histoire de la pensée de la guerre de 1780, date de la naissance de Clausewitz, à 1837, année de publication du dernier volume de ses œuvres complètes par sa veuve, tel est le pari d'Hervé Drévillon dans ce livre remarquable d'intelligence et d'originalité. Car au-delà du parcours du plus célèbre théoricien de la guerre, la période 1780-1837 se caractérise par l'émergence de la théorie militaire comme un véritable champ littéraire. Considéré, à cette époque, comme l'auteur de référence de ce domaine, Antoine de Jomini attaqua la théorie de Clausewitz et sa mise en œuvre qui s'appuyait sur une "plume facile" mais "parfois un peu vagabonde" et "surtout trop prétentieuse". L'inconstance de la plume de Clausewitz reposa sur sa conscience aiguë des problématiques de la théorie militaire. Il est donc utile de s'appuyer dessus pour étudier la construction de la pensée militaire par de nombreux auteurs qui pensèrent et écrivirent la guerre. Contrairement à la vision idéaliste de Clausewitz, la plupart se référèrent à la réalité des conflits armés pour tenter d'offrir des principes répondant à des questions essentielles : que faire en guerre et quel est le lien entre guerre et politique ? -- quatrième de couverture.

Abstract

The first comprehensive comparative analysis of Sun Tzu's The Art of War, Clausewitz's On War and Jomini's The Art of War, this book is much more than an introduction to the classical theory of war - it is a source of provocative insight on strategic issues and an argument for the increasing relevance and importance of these enduring works. Among the issues examined are the primacy of politics in war; the rational conduct of war; leadership; the place of intuition in command; the attitudes of commanders towards risk-taking; the part played by intelligence, surprise and deception; and the mobilization and participation of the people. Professor Handel's intention in this pioneering study is to stimulate discussion on the value of classical theory for the modern student of military affairs. His detailed analysis of three great strategists will prove a useful guide for novices as well as a challenging basis for further research by those already acquainted with their work.

Abstract

Responding to the enemy's innovation in war presents problems to soldiers and societies of all times. This book traces Napoleon's victory over Prussia in 1806 and Prussia's effort to recover from defeat to show how in one particular historical episode operational analyses together with institutional and political decisions eventually turned defeat to victory. The author moves from a comparative study of French and Prussian forces to campaign narrative and strategic analysis. He examines processes of change in institutions and doctrine, as well as their dependence on social and political developments, and interprets works of art and literature as indicators of popular and elite attitudes toward war, which influence the conduct of war and the kind and extent of military innovation. In the concluding chapter he addresses the impact of 1806 on two men who fought on opposing sides in the campaign and sought a new theoretical understanding of war--Henri Jomini and Carl von Clausewitz. Fields of history that are often kept separate are brought together in this book, which seeks to replicate the links between different areas of thought and action as they exist in reality and shape events.
