Previous owner's decorative bookplate on fep. This translation is based on the Eighth French edition. This book was originally published in English in 1920. This classic work explains the disasters of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and helps to predict the successes of World War I. Ardant du Picq was a colonel in the French Army who was killed in 1870 in the Franco-Prussian War. The work was not completed by him but Du Picq had written many chapters completely and left sufficient notes behind to complete the book. The theme of the book according to Marshal Foch is that "moral force" is the most powerful element in the strength of armies and the preponderating influence in the outcome of battles. Du Picq's work attempts to deal with the principles of warfare as an empirical study based on case studies of battles. Battle Studies became a key textbook in the French Army's École de Guerre in the years leading to World War I. Charles Jean Jacques Joseph Ardant du Picq 19 October 1821 - 18 August 1870 was a French Army officer and military theorist whose writings as they were later interpreted by other theorists had a great effect on French military theory and doctrine. Ardant du Picq was born on 19 October 1821. On 1 October 1844 upon graduation from the École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr he was commissioned a sublieutenant in the 67th. As a captain he saw action in the French expedition to Varna April-June 1853 during the Crimean War. Transferred to the 9th Chasseurs a Pied battalion December 1854 he was captured during the storming of the central bastion of Sevastopol in September 1855. He was released in December 1855 and returned to active duty. du Picq served in Syria from August 1860 to June 1861 during the French intervention. He also saw extensive service in Algeria 1864-66. He was in France at the outbreak of war with Prussia on 15 July 1870 and took command of his regiment the Tenth Regiment of the Line. He died on 18 August 1870 at the military hospital in Metz from wounds received at the Battle of Mars-la-Tour. The Military Service Publishing Company hardcover
