Based on a comprehensive view of Military History since 1560 BC, with the study of wars, campaigns and battles for over three millennia, I understand that there is an Art of War B.N. and a A.N. («Before and After Napoleon»). He never wrote a book about his ideas, but rather reflected them in his actions. He became, through his avid readings of military history, a master of the Art of War up to his time; and for his campaigning practices, he earned a doctorate in that art. In the end, his defeat was caused mainly because Europe was not yet ripe for his project of a European Union with republican principles. The image on the cover shows Napoleon in his office, in which he has a globe, books and maps dealing with the regions and countries included in his strategies.
