The Art of War by baron de Antoine Henri Jomini
"The Art of War" by baron de Antoine Henri Jomini is a military treatise published in 1838. This influential work presents Jomini's comprehensive theory of warfare, focusing on strategy, grand tactics, and military politics. Through a series of maxims, it explains how to concentrate forces at decisive points and adapt military means to political objectives. The treatise became so essential at West Point that Civil War generals reportedly carried it into battle
alongside their swords. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
