戰爭論 卷三: 以戰止戰

by Carl von Clausewitz, 楊南芳 (translator), 綦甲福 (translator)

戰，是為了解決政治問題

　　在最後一卷中，克勞塞維茨重申政治與戰爭的關係。戰爭只不過是政治的一部分，絕不是什麼獨立的東西，僅僅是政府之間解決政治問題的強硬手段。戰爭爆發後，也不可能進入無限制的絕對戰爭狀態，而且政治往來並不因戰爭而中斷。克勞塞維茨總結，戰爭從屬於政治。政治是頭腦，戰爭只不過是工具。

第七篇 進攻
　　在進攻時，進攻者的優勢會逐漸失去，所以當進攻達到最大極限時，就應當適時停止，轉入防禦或進行修整。如果超越極限，反而會引起敵人的還擊，這是指揮官經常犯的錯誤。因此，從進攻轉為防禦是戰爭的重要環節，指揮官也要能迅速而準確地判斷時機。
