Description:

For the last two centuries "Vom Kriege" has been used to justify two different kinds of totalitarianisms: Marxism-Leninism and Nazism. However, during the 1950s liberal thinking also made use of that work. In line with liberal thinking, Raymond Aron's *Penser la Guerre, Clausewitz* presents Clausewitz's work as moderate and liberal and underplays its totalitarian connections.
