Curtis Brown – Författare

This book assembles a collection of three of the most influential military writings of all time: du Picq's BATTLE STUDIES, an established authority on the effect of "moral force" on battle; Clausewitz's PRINCIPLES OF WAR, which has had an effect on the destiny and welfare of the world like few other books; and Jomini's ART OF WAR, which teaches Napoleonic doctrine, which has exerted a strong influence on the development of modern military thought.

This volume collects three more military classics: von Leeb's DEFENSE, a realistic and meticulous examination of the concept by one of the outstanding German strategies of World War II; von Freytag-Lorginhoven's THE POWER OR PERSONALITY IN WAR, an enlightened, penetrating analysis of Clausewitz's more important theories and observations on the psychological aspects of leadership; and Erfurth's SURPRISE, an authoritative treatise written prior to World War II on the importance of surprise in mdoern warfare.
