With a Sword in One Hand and Jomini in the Other: The Problem of Military Thought in the Civil War North - The Steven and Janice Brose Lectures in the Civil War Era
Carol Reardon
When the Civil War began, Northern soldiers and civilians sought a framework to help make sense of the chaos that confronted them. Many turned first to Antoine Henri Jomini's classic military text, Summary of the Art of War. As Carol Reardon shows, Jomini's work was only one voice in what ultimately became a lively and contentious national discourse about how the North should conduct war.
