Brothers in Arms

Founding Editor of Texas Monthly magazine, co-creator/writer of the acclaimed China Beach television series, and coauthor of the Apollo 13 screenplay, William Broyles, Jr., now lives and writes in Austin.

Napoleon on the Art of War
by Jay Luvaas
In the capstone work of his career, military historian Jay Luvaas brings together in one unprecedented volume the military genius of Napoleon. Unlike Sun-Tzu or Karl yon Clausewitz, Napoleon never wrote a unified essay on his military philosophy. Yet as one of the world's great strategists and tacticians, he sprinkled wisdom throughout his many and varied writings. Jay Luvaas has spent more than three decades pouring through the 32 volumes of Napoleon's correspondence, carefully translating and editing all of his writings on the art of war, and arranging them in seamless essays. The resulting book captures the brilliant commander's views on everything from the preparation of his forces to the organization, planning, and execution of his battles -- all buttressing Napoleon's view that "in war there is but one favorable moment; the great art is to seize it". Napoleon on the Art of War will be essential reading for military buffs, students of history, and also the vast business audience that buys Sun-Tzu and other classics on leadership and the art of war.
