An original, argumentative, intelligent, disgressive, and interesting book. . . . Any diligent reader of Sumida will be impelled to think seriously about major issues in On War Journal of Military History

Sumida offers a brilliant and convincing reevaluation of Clausewitz's thought, his magnum opus On War, and his continued relevance to modern warfare. . . . A major statement by a leading military historian and intellectual heavyweight. -- Robert M. Citino

-An original, argumentative, intelligent, disgressive, and interesting book. . . . Any diligent reader of Sumida will be impelled to think seriously about major issues in On War--Journal of Military History

Sumida's discussion of military genius, decisionmaking during wartime, and the relationship between history and theory in military education is profound. His ideas reflect a synthesis of the philosophy underpinning the founding of, among other institutions, the Marine Corps University. This book is a new must-read for national strategists and anyone who strives to be a serious student of war. -- Marine Corps Gazette
