Excerpt from Modern War, Vol. 1 The original of this work was written with a view to inform the French army upon the art of war as it is today. The Author does not address a victorious army, but one that is endeavoring to recover from the convulsive shock experienced in 1870. The strain of lofty and urgent patriotism that pervades the treatise will therefore be easily understood. Moreover, the influence of this ardent tone upon the reader can not fail to be salutary by quickening answering sentiments. It may be said also that nothing could be more fully calculated to impress the Author with an earnest sense of responsibility in discharging his important task, than the feelings in which his patriotic language has its origin. They have set a watchful guard over his judgment against the introduction of erroneous instruction. In his treatment of the subject of modern war, he has avoided the extreme views of those partisans who on the one hand contend that there are absolute rules of war incapable of the least vibration, and of those on the other who deny that there is such a thing as an "art of war." He recognizes the value of certain general truths in the conduct of warlike operations, but is equally explicit in declaring that their applications change with the shifting conditions of warfare.
