  • Jonathan Petropoulos. Artists under Hitler: Collaboration and Survival in Nazi Germany

    Peter ParetARTICLEThe American Historical Review2016

    “[C]onventional wisdom,” Jonathan Petropoulos writes at the beginning of Artists under Hitler: Collaboration and Survival in Nazi Germany, “insists that any genuinely interesting art [in National Socialist Germany] was rooted in the modernism of the Weimar Republic, while Nazi culture, with its rigidity and monumentality, was bad” (xi). These words suggest an oddly narrow conception of aesthetic styles. Leaving aside the question of whether the c…

  • Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age

    The essays in this volume analyze war, its strategic characterisitics and its political and social functions, over the past five centuries.

Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age takes the first part of its title from an ear…

  • From Ideal to Ambiguity: Johannes von Muller, Clausewitz, and the People in Arms

    Peter ParetARTICLEJournal of the History of Ideas2004

    In the debate at the end of the Enlightenment over the place of armed forces and war in society, Johannes [von] Müller's Histories of the Swiss attracted attention as a work of historical interpretation and as a political statement. Müller's idealization of the free "people in arms" is contrasted with Clausewitz's argument that ideals and self-interest contrary to the ideals may be expressed simultaneously by individuals and societies, both quali…

    Peter Paret, Eberhard WagemannARTICLEThe Journal of Military History1999

  • Imagined Battles: Reflections of War in European Art

    John M Mackenzie, Peter ParetARTICLEThe Journal of Military History1998

    For thousands of years, art has interpreted the experience of war - its methods, human costs and moral ambiguities - and has offered historians a wealth of testimony that is only beginning to be systematically explored. In this wide-ranging study, Peter Paret discusses 47 paintings and prints as complex documents of war in Europe since the Renaissance and as examples of the artist's use of war as a metaphor for the human condition. The images inc…

  • A Bitter Truth: Avant-Garde Art and the Great War

    Peter Paret, Richard CorkARTICLEThe Journal of Military History1997

    It is unspeakable, godless, hopeless. I am no longer an artist interested and curious. I am a messenger who will bring back word from the men who are fighting to those who want the war to go on forever. Feeble, inarticulate, will be my message, but it will have a bitter truth. - Paul Nash, 1918, at Passchendaele. The trauma of the First World War had an immensely powerful effect on the painters, sculptors, and printmakers who participated in it. …

  • Historical and Political Writings

    Mary Lee Townsend, Carl Von Clausewitz et al.ARTICLEGerman Studies Review1994

    Carl von Clausewitz's major theoretical work, On War, has retained its freshness and relevance since it first appeared 160 years ago. Clausewitz was also a wide-ranging, innovative historian--his acerbic history of Prussia before 1806 became an underground classic long before it could be published--and a combative political essayist, whose observations on the affairs of Germany and Europe combine social egalitarianism with a nearly Bismarckian Re…
