Clausewitz, the father of strategic studies (RUSI)

@aingeru074
Clausewitz
Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz created a new way of thinking about war in the West. Where previous authors had produced prescriptive manuals or homed in on ethics or the laws of war, he embarked on a study of the phenomenon and its complex social nature. Thus, Clausewitz is challenging to engage with and richer and more rewarding in the insights he provides.

Welcome to The Daily 202! Tell your friends to sign up here. Olivier is back. Thank you to everyone who made this newsletter crack onward in his absence, especially the indispensable Caroline!

It’s a midterm election year, and many Democratic candidates are keeping the president at arms’ length, worried his poor approval ratings will drag them down, too.

Is it 2022? No, 2014, when President Barack Obama was largely absent from the campaign trail, and it fell to Vice President Joe Biden to step in. And step in he did, campaigning for scores of candidates across nearly two dozen states.

This year, though, it’s Biden’s dismal polling numbers — including inside his own party, where 64 percent say they want someone else to run for president in 2024 and only 78 percent approve of the way he’s doing his job — that are giving Democrats headaches.

One year later: Reflecting on America’s departure from Afghanistan

Email-08-23-SCSS-Reflecting-America-Departure-Afghanistan.jpg

The United States’ final withdrawal from Afghanistan in August of 2021 marked the end of a twenty-year war that reshaped the country and region. The United States entered Afghanistan after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, degrading al-Qaeda and eventually killing Osama bin Laden, while temporarily removing the Taliban regime. Tens of thousands of lives – from everyday Afghans to American soldiers – were transformed, and lost, along the way.

One year later, Afghanistan faces a grim and uncertain future. What have been the war’s consequences and what has US withdrawal meant for Afghanistan and the United States?

Please join the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security virtually tomorrow, Tuesday, August 23, at 11:00 a.m. ET as we reflect on the war’s repercussions, assess the future, and hear perspectives from those who’ve lived and learned Afghanistan’s story first-hand, including themes from author and veteran Elliot Ackerman’s new book, The Fifth Act: America’s End in Afghanistan.

At FRONTLINE, we are best known for making documentary films that investigate key issues and hold the powerful to account.

But some stories are meant to be heard.

That’s why, in recent years, FRONTLINE has expanded into the podcast realm — bringing the same quality, accuracy and compelling storytelling you expect from us into the audio space.

You can listen for yourself. Check out our audio offerings, including:

  • The FRONTLINE Dispatch, a collection of sharp and compelling conversations between our executive producer and journalists in the field. Here are our five most-listened-to episodes of 2021.
  • Un(re)solved, a miniseries in which reporter James Edwards explores the government’s efforts to grapple with America’s legacy of racist killings through the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act — while reflecting on his own family’s experience with racist violence.
  • I’m Not A Monster, a 10-episode series with the BBC following journalist Josh Baker’s search for the truth about an American woman who traveled to the heart of ISIS territory with her family. You can listen to the whole series now.

We also have a FRONTLINE film tracks feed, where you can listen to specially produced audio versions of our documentaries.

You can subscribe to our audio series on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

You’ll receive selected updates on our podcast and audio storytelling as a FRONTLINE Insider. But if you’d like more frequent alerts about what we’re up to on the audio front, you can sign up for our FRONTLINE podcast newsletter.

Thank you for listening.
