With a Sword in One Hand & Jomini in the Other: The Problem of Military Thought in the Civil War North
Angebote / Angebote:
When the US Civil War began, Northern soldiers and civilians alike sought a framework to help make sense of the chaos that confronted them. Many turned to the classic European military texts from the Napoleonic era, especially Antoine Henri Jomini's Summary of the Art of War. As Carol Reardon shows, Jomini's work was only one voice in what ultimately became a lively and contentious national discourse about how the North should conduct war. She argues that the absence of a strong intellectual foundation for the conduct of war ultimately contributed to the length of the conflict.
