Napoleon's Military Maxims Kindle Edition

by Napoléon Bonaparte (Author), David G. Chandler (Author), Beatrice Heuser (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
This classic work is a distillation of the knowledge, intuition and wisdom of one of history’s greatest military commanders.

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 and theories on the art of waging war are presented here in the form of accessible and readable maxims.

This edition also features additional contextual commentary by historians David Chandler and Beatrice Heuser, which allows modern readers to compare Napoleon’s principles with the experience of war today.

About the Author

Dr David G. Chandler (1934–2004) was the foremost expert on Napoleonic warfare, the military campaigns of Napoleon and the campaigns of the Duke of Marlborough. His seminal works include The Campaigns of Napoleon, On the Napoleonic Wars and The Dictionary of the Napoleonic Wars.

Beatrice Heuser has worked primarily on aspects of strategy, publishing Reading Clausewitz (2002); Strategy before Clausewitz (2017), and The Evolution of Strategy (2010), which covers the period from Antiquity to the Present; specifically on nuclear strategy: Nuclear Strategies and Forces for Europe (1997); Nuclear Mentalities? (1998); and The Bomb (1999). She has also researched and edited volumes on insurgencies and counterinsurgency. Her latest publication is WAR: A genealogy of Western ideas and practices (2022).

Philip Haythornthwaite is one of the most distinguished and prolific writers on the military history of the Napoleonic era. He has long been established as an authority on the major battles of the time, in particular those fought in the Iberian peninsula, and he has made a special study of the armies and the soldiers who confronted each other across Europe during 15 years of almost continuous warfare. His many previous books include: The Peninsular War: The Complete Companion to the Iberian Campaigns 1807-14; The Armies of Wellington; Waterloo Men: The Experience of Battle, 16-18 June 1815; Die Hard! Famous Napoleonic Battles; The Napoleonic Source Book; Who Was Who in the Napoleonic Wars; Wellington's Army: The Uniforms of the British Soldier 1812-1815 and Waterloo Armies.
