Cormier ably defends an interesting and provocative thesis challenging the received wisdom that Kant and especially Hegel had little or no important impact on Clausewitz. The text includes not only detailed scholarship on Clausewitz, but Cormier also extends his thesis to the domains of communist and anarchist appropriations of Clausewitz and Hegel. It concludes with an informative and lively epilogue exploring contemporary implications for war theory. The text is interesting, engaging, and is full of insights not only regarding these key trajectories, but many other matters as well - an original, thoughtful, and well-conceived book. Bruce Gilbert, Bishop' s University Cormier has written an intriguing dissection of dialectical war theory that students of philosophy and ethics will find indispensable.
