CLAUSEWITZ IN SPANISH BREVE INTRODUCCIÓN A CLAUSEWITZ By OSCAR ARANDA MORA, CAPITÁN DE CORBETA (Lieutenant Commander, Chilean Navy) This work pursues two intentions. The first is to introduce the thought and the work of General Clausewitz, with the hope to serve as a point of departure for further study of his work. The second intention is to spread its main concepts, thinking especially about those whose academic and professional obligations prevent them from dedicating the time required to the pleasure of reading this masterpiece concerning war. At the same time, it seeks to induce the reader to personal meditation on those paragraphs of On War that the author of this introductory work thinks--with modesty--to be of the greatest importance.

Carl Von Clausewitz Savaþ Üzerine [Türkçe baský, May Yayýnlarý, Nisan 1975, Çeviren: Þiar Yalçýn] Clausewitz's THE PRINCIPLES OF WAR JOHN BOYD
Boyd, a superb USAF fighter pilot, tactical analyst, aircraft designer, and inventor of the famous (and useful) "OODA Loop," is held by his followers to be the greatest strategic thinker since Sun Tzu. As usual with the acolytes of any particular strategic theorist, some of his followers—but certainly not all—tend to waste our time by energetically sneering at other theorists (something Clausewitz.com reserves only for dishonest propagandists, of course) rather than looking for the underlying links and synergies that might help us actually advance our understanding of the strategic problems we face. There are a lot of info and links at . Links to Boyd's original briefings are available at . This is a business-oriented Boyd site devoted to promoting Boyd's ideas. Visitors will be astounded to discover the following: Boyd's alleged superiority to Clausewitz is demonstrated on the following Belisarius.com links:"You may not realize it, but many of today's most powerful business strategies—agility, the role of time and speed, and the need for mutual trust—trace directly back to this maverick Air Force fighter pilot." See also the Sun Tzu site 's excellent , who was an associate Boyd from the mid-1970s until Boyd's death in 1997. Chet Richards keeps Boyd's genius and contribution to society alive via his web sites "" (AKA Belisarius.com) and "." Boydians tend to draw a caricature of Clausewitz as a Newtonian scientific primitive (hardly validated by modern nonlinear theorists' analysis of Clausewitz's world view) and as obsessed with "decisive battle"—a curious notion that traces back to Wellington's misreading of Clausewitz's study of The Campaign of 1815. This alleged "obsession with decisive battle" is basically a conflation of Clausewitz's 1) emphasis on combat as the factor that distinguishes war from other forms of politics, and 2) his suggestion that perhaps the sacrifices of war should be made in pursuit of an actual decision to the political issue under violent dispute. The Clausewitzian countercritique of Boyd would go something like this: Chuck Spinney "" April 4, 1999 A John Boyd/Sun Tzu fan (who, like many in that category, inexplicably feels that the sect requires him to sneer at Clausewitz) explains why a "Clausewitzian" NATO won't be able to beat the brilliant SunTzuian strategist Slobodan Milosevic. "In short, Boyd's theory says NATO and the United States are in deep trouble, and the Clausewitzians want to continue fighting a methodical battle against a Balkan Sun Tzu who they hold in contempt." In actuality, of course, Milosevic was defeated by NATO, deposed by his own people, and held in jail until he very cleverly died of natural causes. But we certainly shouldn't let the actual outcome of NATO's strategy influence our evaluation of this piece. Ed.
