An essential volume of Napoleon's wisdom on the art of war. Nearly
two hundred years after his death, Napoleon remains widely regarded
as one of the greatest military commanders of all time. Here, in
one volume, is the essence of Napoleon's knowledge and wisdom, the
fruit of his practical experience, and his study of the great
empire-builders from Alexander to Frederick the Great. Working from
the best among previous editions of Napoleon's maxims, including
the work produced in 1901 by William E. Cairnes, noted Napoleonic
historian David G. Chandler has contributed commentary that
examines Napoleon's work from the twentieth-century perspective of
the two world wars, Vietnam, and other conflicts, and analyzes the
ways in which commanders have observed or failed to observe
Napoleon's teachings. The Military Maxims of Napoleon is a unique
collection of tenets on the art of war. They reveal the principles
on which his military, diplomatic, and political triumphs were
built. Now every military student and enthusiast can benefit from
the brilliance of Napoleonic insight and wisdom. "The Military
Maxims of Napoleon provides a most valuable insight into the
Napoleonic art of war . . . David G. Chandler is the foremost
modern authority on the subject, which makes this work essential
reading." Philip J. Haythornthwaite, author of Invincible Generals

henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil
War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome,
medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title
we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national
bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are
sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise
find a home.
