Antoine-Henri Jomini 's The Art of War is the foremost writing on Napoleonic warfare and military tactics and strategy ever written. "The art of war, as generally considered, consists of five purely military branches, -viz.: Strategy, Grand Tactics, Logistics, Engineering, and Tactics. A sixth and essential branch, hitherto unrecognized, might be termed Diplomacy in its relation to War. Although this branch is more naturally and intimately connected with the profession of a statesman than with that of a soldier, it cannot be denied that, if it be useless to a subordinate general, it is indispensable to every general commanding an army." -Antoine-Henri JominiAntoine-Henri, baron Jomini was a general in the French and Russian military. He was one of the most celebrated writers on Napoleonic warfare and according to historian John Shy, "deserves the dubious title of founder of modern strategy."

The Art of War by Baron de Jomini was considered by most military experts of the day, at the time of the American Civil War, to be the definitive work on strategy and warfare. Even today, it is highly regarded as a seminal work in the development of military strategy.
Antoine Henri de Jomini was one of Napoleon's most capable generals. He contributed to almost all of Napoleon's major battles. Napoleon regarded him so highly he gave him the title "Baron" de Jomini. At the close of the Napoleonic wars de Jomini became General and Aide de camp for the Czar of Russia. His first-hand accounts and rigorous analysis of important battles is still a major resource on tactics, strategy and warfare.
