Jomini's 'The Art of War', Military Classics Series Edition

Story

While Sun Tzu is a household name, Jomini was the man who actually taught the world how to fight like Napoleon. During the American Civil War, generals on both sides carried his theories into battle as their primary tactical bible.

Maker / Origin

Antoine-Henri Jomini was a Swiss officer who served as a general in both the French and Russian armies. He became the most celebrated military theorist of the 19th century, distilling the chaos of the Napoleonic Wars into a scientific system of 'lines of operation.'

Condition & Value

The dust jacket shows significant shelf wear, including chipping at the edges and a small tear on the left side. The spine appears slightly faded, which is common for these bright pigments. The wear reduces the value by approximately 40% compared to a mint copy. Value is driven by the presence of the original dust jacket.
