Hardback. Zustand: Good. For nearly two centuries, ""On War"", by Carl Phillip Gottfried von Clausewitz (1780-1831), has been the bible for statesmen and military professionals, strategists, theorists, and historians concerned about armed conflict. The source of the famous aphorism that ""war is an extension of politics by other means,"" it has been widely read and debated. But, as Jon Sumida shows in this daring new look at Clausewitz's magnum opus, its full meaning has eluded most readers - until now.Approaching Clausewitz's classic as if it were an encoded text, Sumida deciphers this cryptic masterwork and offers a more productive way of looking at the sources and evolution of its author's thought. Sumida argues that ""On War"" should be viewed as far more complete and coherent than has been supposed. Moreover, he challenges the notion that ""On War"" is an attempt to explain the nature of armed conflict through the formulation of abstract theories.Clausewitz's primary concern, Sumida contends, was practical instruction of the military and political leadership of his country. To achieve this end, Clausewitz invented a method of reenacting the psychological difficulties of high command in order to promote the powers of intuition that he believed were essential to effective strategic decision-making. In addition, Sumida argues that Clausewitz's primary strategic proposition is that the defense is a stronger form of war than the offense. This concept, Sumida maintains, must be understood in order to make sense of Clausewitz's positions on absolute and real war, guerrilla warfare, and the relationship of war and policy/politics.Sumida's pathbreaking critique is supported by examination of the Prussian officer's experience during the Napoleonic Wars, previous major theoretical and historical scholarship on Clausewitz and his writing, and modern philosophical and scientific works that have much in common with Clausewitz's creative guide to the consideration of strategic practice.A major study of intellectual and military history, Sumida's book provides a provocative and above all readily comprehensible treatment of a previously inaccessible classic. It will surely become essential reading for all military professionals and serious students of military thought.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. First Paperback Edition. Large 8vo. pp xix, 377. Large format paperback. In the early years of the twentieth century, Britain attempted to solve fundamental strategic problems through the secret development of technologically advanced weapons: a kind of "Edwardian Star Wars". Professor Sumida charts the Admiralty's efforts to maintain Britain's naval supremacy, despite parliamentary financial restrictions, through the introduction of technically advanced capital ships which became known as battle cruisers. This newer warship class depended on the perfection of advanced analogue computers to control and direct naval gunfire from vessels moving at high speed in battle, but divisions within the Admiralty and political wrangling led to shortcomings in the installation of British naval equipment that were to have serious consequences at the battle of Jutland. This study is based upon archival research into naval finance and gunnery technology and raises fundamental questions about the currently accepted view of British naval planning before 1914 and of naval operations during the First World War.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Publlished by George Allen & Unwin for the Navy Records Society, Aldershot, 1984, being volume 124 of the Society publications in this series; 8vo, 155 x 230mm; standard blue cloth titled gilt on the spine and with the roundel of the Society in gilt on the front cover; no dust wrapper called for; pp xv, 400 plus list of the publication of this series to date; frontispiece photograph of Pollent; several more technical appendixes on relevant matters such as Range Finding by Triangulation, Triangulation by Coincidence, Disc-ball-Roller Mechanism, and more; extremely slight fading of the spine but otherwise in near fine condition. . . . . . Pollen's particular contribution was the invention and development of an analogue computer, the Argo Clock. At that time the accuracy of large naval guns was extremely poor and Lord Kelvin proposed the development of such an analogue device to calculate and solve the various equations relevant to the required trajectory of fire, including matter such as the relative motion of the ships engaged and of the time to hit. Pollen also disagreed frequently with the official British approach to and publication of material about World War I. In particular he disagreed with Admiral Jellicoe, then Commander of the British Grand Fleet, Pollen taking the view that any successes in the Battle of Jutland were actually down to the approach of Admiral Beatty. Pollen worked for much of his life with the Linotype Company, duly becoming MD although at that point he had also become a Director of BSA [the Birmingham Small Arms Company]. …
