This edition has been published by Champ Libre in a new typesetting. First edition, thus.

This copy is an authoritative French translation, by General Albert Niessel, of Clausewitz’s Nachrichten über Preussen in seiner grossen Katastrophe, originally published in German in the early 20th century and first issued in French by R. Chapelot around 1903. Clausewitz analyzes the crushing Prussian defeat in 1806, at Jena and Auerstädt, and continues, examining the political and military reforms that followed.

Albert Niessel (1866–1955) was a French general and well-known military author. His works include the first French translation of Clausewitz’s Notes in 1903, followed by books on air defense, Eastern Europe evacuation, and WWI recollections.
