{"product_id":"9780806141084","title":"On Wellington : A Critique of Waterloo (Campaigns and Commanders Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Battle of Waterloo has been studied and dissected so extensively that one might assume little more on the subject could be discovered. Now historian Peter Hofschröer brings forward a long-repressed commentary written by Carl von Clausewitz, the author of On War.Clausewitz, the Western world's most renowned military theorist, participated in the Waterloo campaign as a senior staff officer in the Prussian army. His appraisal, offered here in an up-to-date and readable translation, criticized the Duke of Wellington's actions. Lord Liverpool sent his translation of the manuscript to Wellington, who pronounced it a \"\"lying work.\"\" The translated commentary was quickly buried in Wellington's private papers, where it languished for a century and a half. Now published for the first time in English, Hofschröer brings Clausewitz's critique back into view with thorough annotation and contextual explanation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Hofschröer, long recognized as a leading scholar of the Napoleonic Wars, shows how the Duke prevented the account's publication during his lifetime - a manipulation of history so successful that almost two centuries passed before Clausewitz's work reemerged, finally permitting a reappraisal of key events in the campaign. In addition to translating and annotating Clausewitz's critique, Hofschröer also includes an order of battle and an extensive bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42743134617675,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1174.77,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9780806141084-1.jpg?v=1783359470","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/ja\/products\/9780806141084","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
