Book excerpt: Antoine-Henri, baron Jomini (6 March 1779 - 24 March 1869) was a general in the French and later in the Russian service, and one of the most celebrated writers on the Napoleonic art of war. According to the historian John Shy, Jomini "deserves the dubious title of founder of modern strategy." Jomini's ideas were a staple at military academies. The senior generals of the American Civil War-those who had attended West Point-were well versed in Jomini's theories.

Book excerpt: From Baron de Jomini DEFINITION OF THE ART OF WAR The art of war, as generally -considered, consists of five purely military branches, -viz.: Strategy, Grand Tactics, Logistics, Engineering, and Tactics. A sixth and essential branch, hitherto unrecognized, might be termed Diplomacy in its relation to War. Although this branch is more natu-rally and intimately connected with the profession of a statesman than with that of a soldier, it cannot be denied that, if it be useless to a subordinate general, it is indispen-sable to every general commanding an army: it enters into all the combinations which may lead to a war, and has a connection with the various operations to be undertaken in this war; and, in this view, it should have a place in a work like this. To recapitulate, the art of war consists of six distinct parts: 1.Statesmanship in its relation to war. 2.Strategy, or tho art of properly directing masses upon the theater of war, either for defense or for invasion. 3.Grand Tactics. 4.Logistics, or tho art of moving armies. 5.Engineering, -the attack and defense of fortifications. 6. Minor Tactics . . . From The U.S. Military Academy's (West Point's) Preface to Jomini's work: IN the execution of any undertaking there are ex-tremes on either hand which are alike to be avoided. The rule holds in a special manner in making a transla-tion. There is, on the one side, the extreme of too rigid adherence, word for word and line for line, to the ori-ginal, and on the other is the danger of using too free a pen. In either case the sense of the author may not be truly given. It is not always easy to preserve a proper mean between these extremes. The translators of Jo-mini's Summary of the Principles of the Art of War have endeavored to render their author into plain Eng-lish, without mutilating or adding to his ideas, attempt-ing no display and making no criticisms. To persons accustomed to read for instruction in mili-tary matters, it is not necessary to say a word with refer-ence to the merits of Jomini. To those not thus accus-tomed heretofore, but who are becoming more interested in such subjects, (and this class must include the great mass of the American public, ) it is sufficient to say, and it may be said with entire truth, that General Jomini is admitted by all competent judges to be one of the ablest military critics and -historians of this or any other day. The translation now presented to the people has been made with the earnest hope and the sincere expectation of its proving useful. As the existence of a large, well-instructed standing army is deemed incompatible with our institutions, it becomes the more important that military information be as extensively diffused as possi-ble among the people. If by the present work the trans-lators shall find they have contributed, even in an incon-siderable degree, to this important object, they will be amply repaid for the care and labor expended upon it. To those persons to whom the study of the art of' war is a new one, it is recommended to begin at the article "Stra-tegy," Chapter III., from that point to read to the end of the Second Appendix, and then to return to Chapters I. and II. It should be borne in mind that this subject, to be appreciated, must be studied, map in hand: this re-mark is especially true of strategy. Au acquaintance with the campaigns of Napoleon I. is quite important, as they are constantly referred to by Jomini and by all other recent writers on the military art. U. 8. MILITARY ACADEMY WEST POINT, N. Y. January, 1862.

Download or read book The Art of War written by Sun Tzu and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of War is the collection of leadership and military strategies composed by the esteemed Chinese general, Sun Tzu. Divided into 13 distinct chapters, each category gives clarity and voice to varying subjects pertaining to the intricacies of war and wartime strategy. Having inspired generations of readers,The Art of War continues to be perceived as a kind of spiritual lighthouse for all those seeking sage leadership advice. Though Sun Tzu's expertise was considered to be professing wartime strategy, the principals enumerated within the text extend far beyond the logistics of a battlefield. Having lived during the Warring States Period, Sun Tzu understood conflict and political strife. Sun Tzu, using the culmination of decades worth of knowledge inspired generations of leaders with his words. His insight was not wasted on the bloodshed of lives lost in battle, yet it was composed into beautifully succinct proverbs and adages that make up the whole of The Art of War. Perhaps his most well-known axiom is, “Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.” With proverbs as popular as the one above, the entirety of his work is composed of this level of insight. As pertinent as it was when it was written over 2,000 year ago, The Art of War is a true work of philosophical mastery. With eye-catching new covers and a professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Art of War is both modern and readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of War is a Chinese military treatise that was written during the 6th century BC by Sun Tzu. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it has long been praised as the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time. The Art of War is one of the oldest books on military strategy in the world. It is the first and one of the most successful works on strategy and has had a huge influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, and beyond. Sun Tzu was the first to recognize the importance of positioning in strategy and that position is affected both by objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective opinions of competitive actors in that environment. He taught that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through a to-do list, but rather that it requires quick and appropriate responses to changing conditions. Planning works in a controlled environment, but in a competitive environment,

Book excerpt: "The Art of War" is an ancient Chinese military treatise that is attributed to Sun Tzu (also referred to as "Sunzi" and "Sun Wu"), a high ranking military general, strategist and tactist. The Art of War has also been applied to business and managerial strategies. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare. It is said to be the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time, and is still read for its military insight which can be applied to business and managerial strategies as well. Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, military strategist, and philosopher who lived in the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China. Sun Tzu is traditionally credited as the author of The Art of War, a widely influential work of military strategy that has affected both Western and Eastern philosophy. Aside from his legacy as the author of The Art of War, Sun Tzu is revered in Chinese and the Culture of Asia as a legendary historical figure. His birth name was Sun Wu, and he was known outside of his family by his courtesy name Changqing. The name Sun Tzu by which he is best known in the West is an honorific which means "Master Sun".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eyewitness to most of the important battles of the Napoleonic Wars, Baron Antoine Henri de Jomini served with both the French and the Anglo-Allied armies. His firsthand accounts of the conflicts are the most authoritative ever written, hailed by experts as both accurate and insightful. It endures as the definitive work on strategy and tactics and as a fundamental source of modern military thought. In fact, generals on both sides of the American Civil War were well schooled in The Art of War. Jomini approaches warfare from several directions, including strategy, tactics, logistics, engineering, and diplomacy. He examines each in turn, and he offers an analysis of strategic problems posed by a variety of theaters and terrains, the tactics of attack and defense, surprise maneuvers, special operations, the importance of reconnaissance, and the deployment of forces. Few can match the breadth of advice offered by the man who was critical to the success of both Napoleon and Czar Alexander I. Unsurpassed in its influence on military thinking, doctrine, and vocabulary, Jomini's classic remains both a historic and practical guide to students of warfare.

Book excerpt: Collected here in this 4-in-1 omnibus are the most important books ever written on the art of war. The Art of War By Sun Tzu translated and commented on by Lionel Giles On War by Carl von Clausewitz The Art of War by Niccolò Machiavelli and The Art of War by Baron De Jomini. These four books will give you as complete a view on the art of war as you can attain.This is the most important book ever written about warfare and conflict. Lionel Giles' translation is the definitive edition and his commentary is indispensable. The Art of War can be used and adapted in every facet of your life. This book explains when and how to go to war as well as when not to. Learn how to win any conflict whether it be on the battlefield or in the boardroom.Although Carl von Clausewitz participated in many military campaigns he was primarily a military theorist interested in the examination of war. On War is the West's premier work on the philosophy of war. Other soldiers before him had written treatises on various military subjects but none undertook a great philosophical examination of war on the scale of Clausewitz's. On War is considered to be the first modern book of military strategy. This is due mainly to Clausewitz' integration of political social and economic issues as some of the most important factors in deciding the outcomes of a war. It is one of the most important treatises on strategy ever written and continues to be required reading at many military academies.Niccolo Machiavelli considered this book his greatest achievement. Here you will learn how to recruit train motivate and discipline an army. You will learn the difference between strategy and tactics. Machiavelli does a masterful job of breaking down and analyzing historic battles. This book of military knowledge belongs alongside Sun-Tzu and Clausewitz on every book shelf.Antoine-Henri Jomini was the most celebrated writer on the Napoleonic art of war. Jomini was present at most of the most important battles of the Napoleonic Wars. His writing therefore is the most authoritative on the subject. "The art of war as generally considered consists of five purely military branches -viz.: Strategy Grand Tactics Logistics Engineering and Tactics. A sixth and essential branch hitherto unrecognized might be termed Diplomacy in its relation to War. Although this branch is more naturally and intimately connected with the profession of a statesman than with that of a soldier it cannot be denied that if it be useless to a subordinate general it is indispensable to every general commanding an army." -Antoine-Henri Jomini
