FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. – The Army University Press announced plans to publish a fan fiction snuff erotica novel titled, Fifty Shades of War about the famed Prussian general and military theorist Carl von Clausewitz and his French-Swiss contemporary and adversary, Antoine-Henri Jomini. A spokesperson for the institution said the press was publishing the book to introduce “strategy in a different context.”

The novel depicts a homoerotic love story between the cerebral yet chaotic Prussian and the dominant and prescriptive Swiss-Francophile. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, the novel begins with an erotic tryst following the Battle of Jena-Auerstadt, and goes on to explore strategy, violence, and the extension of politics by other means.

“The first time most of our officers are exposed to strategic concepts is at the staff college,” said Lt. Gen. Theodore D. Martin, deputy commander of the Army Training and Doctrine Command. “But we need to get them thinking strategically earlier on to get ahead of our Russian and Chinese adversaries.”

“It’s all about improving lethality, which is also the title of the snuff chapter.”
