Clausewitz scholars have long awaited Christopher Daase and James W. Davis's translation of Clausewitz's writings on small wars. --Sibylle Scheipers, University of St. Andrews (UK), lSmall Wars and Insurgencies The Clausewitzian texts published by Davis and Daase will hopefully settle the dispute about the continuing relevance of Clausewitz's writings, at least for the time being. They open a whole new agenda for research that might focus on what the author and many other contemporaries had to contribute on the subject of small war of both kinds. --Beatrice Heuser, lThe Rusi Journal lClausewitz on Small War is a welcome addition to the growing recent scholarship on Clausewitz and will add depth to theoretical and analytical approaches to war and strategic studies, tackling as it does the artificial divide between big and small wars. Military academies and academics in the fields of international relations, politics, history and strategic studies would benefit enormously from this new addition to the Clausewitz canon. --Simon Taylor, University of St. Andrews, lE-International Relations Regardless of whether one considers Clausewitz's thinking as relevant today or as offering a time-bound understanding of war, this book must be read by both. --Artemis Photiadou, LSE International History Department
