Jomini

Antoine Henri Jomini was a Swiss military theorist and general who greatly influenced modern military strategy in the 19th century. He emphasized concepts like the importance of decisive points in battle, the effective use of lines of communication, and the significance of maneuvering forces for strategic advantage. Jomini's ideas, particularly detailed in his book "Summary of the Art of War," focused on principles that could be applied universally in warfare, contrasting with the more unstructured nature of warfare as practiced before him. His work laid the groundwork for many contemporary military doctrines and remains influential today.
