Gat here sheds new light on the origins and nature of modern military thinking, demonstrating the extent to which culture affects military theory and relating a series of military thinkers to their cultural backgrounds. He also provides a provocative critique of Carl von Clausewitz's (1780-1831) classic work, On War , and demonstrates how the major currents of modern military thought have evolved from the cultural frameworks and historical outlooks of both the German Movement and the Enlightenment.
