Art Of War

Baron Antoine de Jomini had the unique distinction among military historians of serving on both sides in the Napoleonic war. In this, his last and greatest book, he brings his personal experience as a soldier to bear on more general military problems to produce the perfect treatise on the art of war.

Many military historians have seen action as soldiers. Few, however, have the distintion of Frenchman Baron Antoine Henri de Jomini, wh served on both sides in the Napoleonic wars. The writings of Jomini, based on his unique experiences, remain one of the fundamental sources of military thinking up to the present day. The Art of War not only achieved fame in its time but is still studied as an outstanding critical appraisal of warfare .An excellent soldier as well as a man with great intellectual powers, Jomini was admirably placed to write with the authority of first-hand experience. In this, his last and greatest book, he divides the art of war into five branches - strategy, grand tactics, logistics, engineering and tactics - and also recognises the importance of a sixth: diplomacy in relation to war. This book will enthrall both Napoleonic buffs and every student of war.
