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. AUTHORS: 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 holds the Chair in International Relations at Glasgow University. Her degrees are from the Universities of London (BA, MA) and Oxford (DPhil), and the Philipps-University of Marburg (Habilitation). From 1991?2003 she taught at the Department of War Studies, King's College London, ultimately as Chair of International and Strategic Studies. 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).
