Rare, 1907, L’-Colonel Camon, La Guerre Napoleonienne, WWI Military History, First Edition

Description

About the book: This work is a military analysis of Napoleonic warfare, focusing on operational systems, strategic theories, and battlefield techniques. It provides a systematic study of Napoleon Bonaparte’s military strategies, making it a valuable resource for military historians and strategists. His main focus lies on the examination of Napoleon’s campaign planning ( including the central position strategy and the concept of maneuver warfare) as well on the importance of speed, surprise, and concentration of forces in Napoleonic battles. Camon compares Napoleon’s methods with those of earlier generals (Frederick the Great, Maurice de Saxe, etc.). He also considers how Napoleonic tactics influenced 19th and early 20th-century military thinking, particularly in the years leading up to World War I.

Hubert Camon (1855 – 1942) was a French military officer and historian specializing in Napoleonic warfare and military strategy.
