Napoleon’s Maxims of War (1861)

Bonaparte is a collection of military maxims and principles written by the French military leader and emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte. Originally compiled in 1804, the maxims were intended to serve as a guide for Bonaparte's own military campaigns and were based on his experiences as a commander in the French Revolutionary Wars. The book covers a wide range of topics, including strategy, tactics, logistics, leadership, and morale, and provides insights into Bonaparte's military genius and his approach to warfare. The maxims are presented in a concise and direct style, making them easy to understand and apply. This edition of Napoleon's Maxims Of War was published in 1861, more than four decades after Bonaparte's death, and remains a valuable resource for military historians, strategists, and anyone interested in the art of war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
