Clausewitz had a strong influence on German military thought,<ref>Antulio Joseph Echevarria, II, ''After Clausewitz: German Military Thinkers Before the Great War'' (2001) [https://www.amazon.com/After-Clausewitz-German-Military-Thinkers/dp/0700610715/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213823024&sr=8-10 excerpt and text search]</ref>  and after 1900 on British thought.  He had little influence on American military thought before 1945.<ref>Christopher Bassford, ''Clausewitz in English: The Reception of Clausewitz in Britain and America, 1815-1945.''

Mao read Clausewitz's ''On War'' in 1938 and organized a seminar on Clausewitz as part of the educational program for the Party leadership in Yan'an. Thus the "Clausewitzian" content in many of Mao's writings is not merely secondhand knowledge, via Lenin (as many have supposed), but reflects Mao's own in-depth study.
