Excerpt from The Development of Strategical Science During the 19th Century
Lastly, I account for such readers as do not wear uniform, but who, either owing to their professional duties or from pure love of science, wish to inform themselves more intimately on the most dramatic subject of international inter course - that is to say, on the subject of war. I must tell those readers that I have endeavoured to be perfectly plain. Every not absolutely neces sary term, every technical expression which it was possible to avoid, I have omitted, and presumed no more military knowledge than the fulfilment of lawful military service has made the common property of all educated men.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the theoretical developments within military strategy that occurred during the 19th century. By assessing the writings of renowned generals and theorists, the author offers unique insights into the approaches that eventually established the strategies used in modern warfare. The book meticulously examines the impact of improved tactics, particularly in the employment of artillery and infantry, on the grand strategy of war. A distinctive feature of the book is its analysis of how Napoleon Bonaparte adapted and applied these theoretical innovations to achieve unprecedented military success. The author presents a contrasting view of the strategic approaches of Napoleon and his predecessors, such as Frederick the Great, and challenges some widely held beliefs about the nature of their strategies. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of strategic thought and practice, solidifying its place as a valuable resource for military historians and strategists alike.
