Dating from 1830, Jomini’s classic work has been a staple of professional military reading for almost 200 years. While Clausewitz is primarily targeted at the strategic level of war, Jomini is aimed more at the operational level, and introduces concepts that are still applicable to the modern practitioner. Its primary thesis is the methods and ways of war, covering military policy, strategy, grand tactics and battles, logistics, and the formation and employment of troops in battle.
