Antoine-Henri Jomini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Antoine-Henri, baron Jomini (March 6, 1779–March 24, 1869), general in the French and afterwards in the Russian service, and one of the most celebrated writers on the art of war, was born at Payerne in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland, where his father was syndic. Jomini was present with Napoleon at the Jena, and at Eylau won the cross of the Legion of Honour. Jomini was thus engaged when the retreat from Moscow and the uprising of Prussia transferred the seat of war to central Germany. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Antoine-Henri_Jomini   (1193 words)

Generals of Waterloo: Jomini's Art of War Jomini was at the battles of Austerlitz (1805), Jena (1806) and Eylau (1807), and was in Spain in 1808. Jomini deals with attacking a state where all of the people know that their state is in danger of losing its independence and thus the people will oppose an army that has invaded. Jomini volunteered again in 1804 and was a staff officer in the French Army, and Napoleon made him a Colonel in Ney's Corps. www.kw.igs.net /~tacit/artofwar/jomini.htm   (2130 words)

Jomini and Clausewitz--Their Interaction Jomini's military writings are easy to unfairly caricature: they were characterized by a highly didactic and prescriptive approach, conveyed in an extensive geometric vocabulary of strategic lines, bases, and key points.*12 His fundamental prescription was simple: place superior power at the decisive point. Jomini and Clausewitz may have caught a glimpse of one another from opposite sides during the tragic crossing of the Beresina river during the French retreat from Moscow, but there is no evidence that they ever met. Jomini's arrogance, irascibility, and naked ambition often led to friction with his fellows and eventually to a falling-out with Ney. www.clausewitz.com /CWZHOME/Jomini/JOMINIX.htm   (4685 words)

ttgapers.com store - The Art of War - Antoine Henri Jomini, Antoine Henri De Jomini - Product Details Jomini dominated the military strategy scene for most of the 19th century, surpassing even Clausewitz, who did not achieve great fame and was not too widely read outside of Germany until the 20th century. Jomini was a contemporary of some other better known names, such as the famed (at least in military circles) Carl Von Clauswitz, whose famous work "On War" is lauded by so many military officers, theorists, as well as philosophers and statesmen alike. Jomini's work is not exactly the easiest of reads, especially since it assumes more than a working knowledge of the wars of Europe, particularly of Napoleon, and is loaded with historical examples. www.ttgapers.com /ttStore-index2-asin-1853672491.html   (1107 words)

Antoine Jomini (from strategy) --  Encyclopædia Britannica In the history of military thought, the French general Antoine-Henri Jomini (1779–1869), one of Napoleon's staff officers and a contemporary of Clausewitz, presents a striking contrast to the Prussian philosopher of war.

Baron Antoine Henri Jomini Ant The Ground Offensive of the Persian Gulf Therefore Jomini attempted to establish a doctrine based upon his studies, observations and experiences that would help to educate the inexperienced and provide a common recognitional baseline for all of the forces operating within the army. Therefore, Jomini's preferred  concept of operations was to orient on the enemy force and force the commander to capitulate or face destruction. According to Jomini, the perfect attack would always attack enemy weakness with strength and be based upon the combination of maneuver, assault, penetration, exploitation and remorseless pursuit into one coherent and continuous process. www.globalsecurity.org /military/library/report/1997/Campbell.htm   (8857 words)

The U.S. Army Professional Writing Collection Jomini’s original concept suggested purely contiguous lines of operation focusing on the advantages of interior versus exterior lines of operation, and the U.S. Army continues to show a desire to maintain that orientation. Jomini’s scientific approach to understanding and succeeding at war lies at the heart of Army doctrinal operations. The Army follows Jomini’s prescription and, through the MDMP, the Principles of War, and the Tenets of Army Operations, has provides the framework for commanders and their staffs that has become a fundamental system of Army tactical and operational planning, limiting the need for natural military genius. www.army.mil /professionalwriting/volumes/volume2/july_2004/7_04_2.html   (1650 words)

Warhorse Simulations: Book Reviews: Jomini review Jomini thus was advocating a style of war that had already become obsolete.   Along with Jomini, he seems to have viewed the destruction of the enemy army as a means to the end of occupying the enemy capital (or threatening to), upon which the enemy would have to make peace.   Jomini's basic understanding of war was mechanistic, and while he occasionally drops in a line about the importance of morale or the uncertainty of war, he did not really believe it. www.warhorsesim.com /papers/reviews/jomini.artofwar.htm   (513 words)

Books about Napoleon Bonaparte at Joslin Hall Rare Books Baron Antoine Henri Jomini was a Swiss General, author and student of strategy who penned several important military works including a history of Napoleon's 1815 campaign. Jomini, who admitted its inaccuracies, nonetheless actually incorporated parts of it into his own biography of Napoleon. Although the volume's critics immediately trumpeted their vindication and redoubled their denouncements of the forgery as ridiculous, many still argued that, although not actually from the pen of the Emperor, the volume was in fact a good mirror of at least some of his feelings. www.joslinhall.com /napoleon.htm   (879 words)

Grant's Secret Service "Determining what a commander knew, when he knew it, and how he used what he knew offers a valuable - and perhaps more evenhanded - perspective from which to view the nature of command in the Civil War," Feis writes, adapting a quote from a French authority on the military, Antoine-Henri Jomini. For the first time, the availability and use of intelligence has been factored into the rationale for the general's command decisions. While Feis relates how Grant used intelligence in combat situations, he also examines his character, motivation and risk tolerance as a field commander. www.americancivilwar.org.uk /books/grant_secret.htm   (500 words)
