Synopsis
If I would want, therefore, to arrange (an army for) an engagement in imitation of the Romans, just as they had two Legions, I would take two Battalions, and these having been deployed, the disposition of an entire Army would be known: for by adding more people, nothing else is accomplished than to enlarge the organization.
Synopsis
Voltaire said, Machiavelli taught Europe the art of war; it had long been practiced, without being known. For Machiavelli, victory was the supreme aim to which all other considerations must be subordinated. The Art of War is far from an anachronism--its pages outline fundamental questions that theorists of war continue to examine today, making it essential reading for any student of military history or strategy. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
