DESCRIPTION

This distillation of the knowledge and wisdom of one of history's greatest military commanders, richly supplemented with Napoleonic imagery and quotations, provides a fascinating glimpse of the Great Captain's intellectual ability for conducting military operations, as well as revealing his thoughts, theories, and commentaries on waging war and the art of conducting statecraft. Napoleon's success was built upon practical experience combined with his own study of classical warfare and his natural grasp of the key principles of war. His thoughts, theories and commentaries on the subject are here presented in the form of accessible and readable maxims that reveal the fundamentals of Napoleon's art of waging war.
