The main purpose of the following study is to investigate the life of Carl von Clausewitz after the fall of Napoleon as well as some of his minor and less known political writings up to 1823. To better illustrate the subject, the article is divided into two parts. First and introductory one is a brief sketch of Clausewitz’s biography, particularly focusing on the fate of the former reform group and its relevance towards his further military career. The second section in turn analysis Clausewitz’s selected political works between 1816‑1823, especially those related to Prussian military institutions.

This study investigates the life of Carl von Clausewitz to 1815 and analyses impact of the Napoleonic Wars era and its relevance to On War. The idea for this article stems from the fact, that the overall image that emerges from the Polish literature in this field is incomplete. Above all it lacks a proper understanding of his life as well as it omits most of his minor historical and political writings. To better illustrate the complexity of the issue in question, the article is divided into eight separate sections, each one describing particular period in Clausewitz’s life, especially the importance of Prussia’s defeat in the twin battles of Jena and Aüerstedt, the process of restoration of the state that took place in following years and his participation in campaigns of 1812 in Russia and of 1815 in France. This study also tries to illustrate and explain how Clausewitz’s experience contributed to the formation of his theory of war.
