Karl von Clausewitz 1780-1831: Considered Ideological Father of First World War
“He who uses force unsparingly, without reference against the bloodshed involved, must obtain a superiority if his adversary uses less vigour in its application…To introduce into a philosophy of war a principle of moderation would be absurdity. War is an act of violence pushed to its utmost bounds.” 1819 "On War"
