Antoine-Henri Jomini was the most celebrated writer on the Napoleonic art of war. Jomini was present at most of the most important battles of the Napoleonic Wars. His writing; therefore; is the most authoritative on the subject. "The art of war; as generally considered; consists of five purely military branches;-viz.: Strategy; Grand Tactics; Logistics; Engineering; and Tactics. A sixth and essential branch; hitherto unrecognized; might be termed Diplomacy in its relation to War. Although this branch is more naturally and intimately connected with the profession of a statesman than with that of a soldier; it cannot be denied that; if it be useless to a subordinate general; it is indispensable to every general commanding an army." -Antoine-Henri Jomini
