The first of all strategic questions--von Clausewitz
I came across this quote from von Clausewitz and thought it might be of interest.
"First, the supreme, the most far-reaching act of judgment that the statesman and commander have to make is to establish ... the kind of war on which they are embarking; neither mistaking it for, nor trying to turn it into, something that is alien to its true nature. This is the first of all strategic questions and the most comprehensive."
From
On War — Volume 1
