Who, among the following, propounded the concept of "Push to Utmost" ?

  • A.Jomini
  • B.Clausewitz
  • C.Alfred T. Mahan
  • D.Douhet

Answer: B

The idea of pushing to the utmost, that war tends in theory to extremes and each side pushes its effort to the limit, is Clausewitz's, and it comes in the opening chapter of On War, where he describes the 'three reciprocal actions' that lead to extremes. Jomini was concerned with the principles of strategy such as lines of operation, Mahan with sea power, and Douhet with air power, so none of them is the source of this concept.
