About Antoine-Henri Jomini

Baron Antoine-Henri Jomini was a Swiss-French military officer who served as a general in French and later in Russian service, and one of the most celebrated writers on the Napoleonic art of war. Jomini was largely self-taught in military strategy, and his ideas are a staple at military academies, the United States Military Academy at West Point being a prominent example; his theories were thought to have affected many officers who later served in the American Civil War. He may have coined the term logistics in his Summary of the Art of War (1838).

Notable works:

Summary of the Art of War, or, a New Analytical Compend of the Principal Combinations of Strategy, of Grand Tactics and of Military Policy
