"The transition from defence to offence is one of the most subtle operations of war" War Axioms is an in-depth examination of Napoleon Bonaparte's strategic pronouncements, which have marked history and influenced warfare from their time to the present day. The work offers a broad understanding of the events of the Napoleonic Wars, the great Corsican's own personality, and the evolution of military doctrines. This edition contains the detailed notes by Generals Burnod and Sir George Charles dAguilar on the Napoleonic Offices, which highlight the French Emperor's multi-dimensional theoretical and practical contribution to the art of warfare. It is a work that will appeal not only to historians and the military, but also to those who wish to understand human nature in extreme circumstances and the values of strategic thinking and leadership in resolving challenges that are ever present.
