Until the First World War, the theory of war in Europe revolved
around a rivalry between two thinkers - Carl von Clausewitz and
Baron Antoine Henri de Jomini. For most of the 19th century,
Jomini's The Art of War was considered the most important book
written on the subject, and Jomini the leading expert on military
theory. Napoleon himself, upon reading some of Jomini's early
writings on war, is reported to have remarked, "It betrays to the
enemy the whole of my system of war " The Art of War was translated
into English twice. The first time was in 1854. The standard
translation was published in 1862, but that translation was
incomplete - the translators had excised Jomini's introductory
material, losing an important part of The Art of War, including key
points in the rivalry between Jomini and Clausewitz. For the first
time in English since 1854, Legacy Books Press Classics presents
Baron de Jomini's The Art of War complete and restored, with the
original front matter reinstated, and a new introduction by
John-Allen Price. Still influential even today, this is a key
volume for understanding the art of war and the Age of Napoleon.
