Question

Explain strategic thought of A. H. Jomini.

Answer 1

Antoine-Henri, Baron Jomini (French: [ʒɔmini]; 6 March 1779 – 24 March 1869) was a Swiss officer who served as a general in the French and later in the Russian service, and one of the most celebrated writers on the Napoleonic art of war. Jomini's ideas were 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).
