Introduction to the Art of War
About This Novel
Jomini was the founder of modern national defense thought. He put national defense at the top of military and economic work and believed that national defense was the most important task. At the same time, we advocate a reserve system in which "all people are soldiers". He highly praised Napoleon's war of annihilation, which was to concentrate superior forces, take the initiative to attack, and annihilate the enemy's effective strength. Jomini was a witness to Napoleon's success and summarized the laws, experiences and lessons of Napoleon's wars in military theory. Therefore, historians believe that "Napoleon only performed meritorious deeds but did not make any statements. It is Jomini's credit to explain Napoleon's achievements theoretically." "Introduction to the Art of War" puts forward many guiding principles, methods and forms of combat, and believes that: war is far from an exact science, but a terrifying and passionate drama, and an art; the common principle and key that all wars must follow is to concentrate forces and destroy the enemy; offense is better than defense, offense is an aggressive type of combat, and defense is a temporary standby action taken to switch to offense at the appropriate time.
