Antoine-Henri Jomini, a general in the French army was one of the most celebrated writers on the Napoleonic art of war. He was the first to fix divisions between strategy, tactics, and logistics, and his systematic attempt to define the principles of warfare made him a founder of modern military thought.

Includes Carte Generale d' Allemagne pour l'intelligence des Operations Militaires, Carte de la Westphalie et de la Hess…, 25 battle plans, and 10 sheets containing descriptions of the battles The maps are uncolored and most of the plans include color to distinguish the various troop placements. Each map and plan is dissected, backed with original gray linen and folded into a marbled-papered slip-case box. The plans vary in size; the smallest being 11 x 7.5" and the largest 29.7 x 26.5".
