This expansive book surveys the history of warfare from ancient Mesopotamia to the Gulf War in search of a deeper understanding of the origins of Western warfare and the reasons for its eminence today. Historian John France explores the experience of war around the globe, in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. His bold conclusions cast doubt on well-entrenched attitudes about the development of military strength, the impact of culture on warfare, the future of Western dominance, and much more.Taking into account wars waged by virtually all civilizations since the beginning of recorded history, France finds that despite enormous cultural differences, war was conducted in distinctly similar ways right up to the Military Revolution and the pursuit of technological warfare in the nineteenth century. Since then, European and American culture has shaped warfare, but only because we have achieved a sense of distance from it, France argues. He warns that the present eminence of U.S. power is much more precarious and accidental than commonly believed. The notion that war is a distant phenomenon is only an illusion, and our cultural attitudes must change accordingly.

A stimulating new inquiry into the fundamental truth of strategy - its purpose, place, utility, and value. This new study is animated by a startling realization: the concept of strategic victory must be summarily discarded. This is not to say that victory has no place in strategy or strategic planning. The outcome of battles and campaigns are variables within the strategist's plan, but victory is a concept that has no meaning there. To the tactical and operational planner, wars are indeed won and lost, and the difference is plain. Success is measurable; failure is obvious. In

Pour la première fois, les textes les plus intéressants de Napoléon sont rassemblés avec l’indication précise de leur provenance et avec un souci de cohérence, selon le plan du traité de De la guerre de Clausewitz. Le résultat est étonnant d’actualité et de profondeur humaine. Napoléon fait réfléchir sur la nature de la guerre, la tactique et la stratégie, l’art de remporter les batailles, les guerres civiles… Tout ce qu’il dit des qualités d’un chef de guerre peut s’appliquer aujourd’hui à un officier en opérations. La maîtrise qu’il a pu exercer dans ce domaine transparaît et frappe toujours par sa vérité. La façon dont il envisage les relations entre théorie et pratique, entre les « principes » et les « circonstances », peut s’appliquer à toute action collective finalisée en milieu conflictuel. Pour offrir au lecteur un livre de références, Bruno Colson a consulté non seulement toutes les sources publiées mais aussi certains manuscrits comme ceux des généraux Bertrand et Gourgaud, compagnons de Sainte-Hélène, ce qui lui a permis de découvrir des maximes et pensées inédites.
