| Summary | "The Officer's Manual: Napoleon's Maxims of War" by Emperor of the French Napoleon I is a military treatise written in the early 19th century. This work serves as a compilation of strategic principles and timeless maxims derived from Napoleon’s vast military experience, aiming to guide officers in the art of warfare. The manual encapsulates the essence of military strategy, focusing on lessons from notable military campaigns that illustrate these principles. The beginning of the manual introduces the reader to its structure and intent, first presenting a recommendation from Winfield Scott, who endorses the republishing of the work as a critical resource for military officers in America. Following this, the publisher outlines the aim of providing a collection of maxims, each illustrated by historical examples from campaigns led by notable military leaders, including Napoleon himself. The opening section highlights the significance of understanding the principles of warfare to advance knowledge and improvement for aspiring military leaders, setting the tone for a detailed examination of tactical wisdom throughout the text.
