This book is a collection of maxims which directed the military operations of the greatest captain of modern times, Napoleon Bonaparte. This extraordinary collection shades light to the period of French domination over Europe, which was build on Napoleon's great military and political skills. On War is one of the most important treatises on political-military analysis and strategy ever written, and remains both controversial and influential on strategic thinking. It was written by Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz, after the Napoleonic wars, between 1816 and 1830. Clausewitz had set about revising his accumulated manuscripts, but did not live to finish the task. On War represents his theoretical explorations. Clausewitz analyzed the conflicts of his time along the line of the categories Purpose, Goal and Means. He reasoned that the Purpose of war is one's will to be enforced, which is determined by politics. The Goal of the conflict is therefore to defeat the opponent in order to exact the Purpose. The Goal is pursued with the help of a strategy that might be brought about by various Means such as by the defeat or the elimination of opposing armed forces or by non-military Means (such as propaganda, economic sanctions and political isolation). Thus, any resource of the human body and mind and all the moral and physical powers of a state might serve as Means to achieve the set goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Napoleon's seventy-eight maxims of war stand as testament to his military talents: his cunning during skirmishes and army movements, and his tactical prowess upon the battlefield, are amply demonstrated. The maxims vary in topic, but tend to discuss principles of sound command and maximizing effectiveness of an army. Having famously overcome many superior forces thanks to a creative and daring use of tactics to divide and defeat enemy armies, Napoleon was in a position to advise future commanders. Knowing the exploits of generals such as Julius Caesar, Napoleon was also informed with historical knowledge - the psychology of warfare, and the importance of surprise and initiative, are far from lost on Napoleon Bonaparte. As the notes of the translator aptly demonstrate, there are many historical examples of Napoleon putting his principles to work in military maneuvers. Whether it be lessons in leadership as an inspiring force, conduct in a siege, and the deployment of cavalry or artillery, it is clear that Napoleon's words are grounded in his extensive experience of war. We learn how sustaining control upon one's officers and troops with discipline are paramount; the consequences of chaos in the ranks can be contagious, and ruinous. This translation of Napoleon's maxims is by Sir George Charles D'Aguilar, who was himself an Army officer serving with the British Army as Lieutenant Governor of Hong Kong. The second portion of this book consist of D'Aguilar's interpretations and explanations of Napoleon's ideals as a general - for his part as a young man during the Napoleonic Wars, D'Aguilar held Napoleon in high regard as a person of supreme resolve and great capacity.

Download or read book Napoleon On War written by Bruno Colson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the book on war that Napoleon never had the time or the will to complete. In exile on the island of Saint-Helena, the deposed Emperor of the French mused about a great treatise on the art of war, but in the end changed his mind and ordered the destruction of the materials he had collected for the volume. Thus was lost what would have been one of the most interesting and important books on the art of war ever written, by one of the most famous and successful military leaders of all time. In the two centuries since, several attempts have been made to gather together some of Napoleon's 'military maxims', with varying degrees of success. But not until now has there been a systematic attempt to put Napoleon's thinking on war and strategy into a single authoritative volume, reflecting both the full spectrum of his thinking on these matters as well as the almost unparalleled range of his military experience, from heavy cavalry charges in the plains of Russia or Saxony to counter-insurgency operations in Egypt or Spain. To gather the material for this book, military historian Bruno Colson spent years researching Napoleon's correspondence and other writings, including a painstaking examination of perhaps the single most interesting source for his thinking about war: the copy-book of General Bertrand, the Emperor's most trusted companion on Saint-Helena, in which he unearthed a Napoleonic definition of strategy which is published here for the first time. The huge amount of material brought together for this ground-breaking volume has been carefully organized to follow the framework of Carl von Clausewitz's classic On War, allowing a fascinating comparison between Napoleon's ideas and those of his great Prussian interpreter and adversary, and highlighting the intriguing similarities between these two founders of modern strategic thinking.
