Clausewitz on Clinton: The War College Lecture
Abstract
Editors's Note: It is not necessary to describe in detail here what has been reported so extensively elsewhere, regarding the recent stunning advancements in biotechnology and genetic engineering. These advancements have enabled scientists working with small fragments of DNA to reconstitute the exact personality and intellect of individuals long deceased. In one of the first such endeavors, these scientists in the spring of 2003 succeeded in recreating completely the early 19th century military theorist Carl Von Clausewitz. Because the scientists who did this were Americans, working in Rockville, Maryland, Mr. Von Clausewitz was brought to America, amidst great secrecy, and ensconced at the National War College in Washington for months of intensive readings and briefings, to bring him up to date on the many developments in the field of war since his death. That fall he made his dramatic first public appearance, speaking in English no less and delivering a lecture to the War College's faculty and students on how his theories applied to military activity during the administration of President Bill Clinton. Following is a complete transcript of this remarkable event, exactly as heard by the faculty and students on October 1, 2003.
