NOTES

1. Baron De Jomini, The Art of War (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, (1862) 1971).

2. John Shy, “Jomini,” in Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age, ed. Peter Paret (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1986), 143-185.

3. See for example the contributions in Rethinking the Principles of War, ed. Anthony D. McIvor (Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 2005).

4. Marine Corps Warfighting Publication 3-1, Ground Combat Operations (Headquarters, United States Marine Corps 2002), 1-6. The reader should know that there are other variants of the Principles of War, for example, Communist Red China included political will as a principle while the British included administration (inclusive of logistics). The nine principles used in this chapter represent, in the author’s opinion, the ones most commonly used by the practitioners of the art of war.

5. See for example: Guenter E. Rothenberg, “Moltke, Schlieffen, and the Doctrine of Strategic Envelopment,” in Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age, ed. Peter Paret (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1986), 296-325, and Jehuda L. Wallach, The Dogma of the Battle of Annihilation (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1986), 41-90.

6. Daniel J. Hughes and Richard L. DiNardo, Imperial Germany and War, 1871-1918 (Lawrence, KS: University of Kansas Press, 2018), 54-57. Hughes and DiNardo’s magnificent work presents the finest explanation of the “German Way of Way” in the English language today (see Chapter 2, The Prussian Theory of War from Clausewitz to Moltke).

7. Hughes and DiNardo, Imperial Germany and War, 67-73.

8. See Edward J. Erickson, “From Kirkilisse to The Great Offensive: Turkish Encirclement Operations 1912-1922,” Middle Eastern Studies 40, no. 1 (2004) for a complete explanation of these operations. With the exception of Kut al Amara in 1915/16, all of these encirclement operations were unsuccessful.

9. Phillip S. Jowett, Armies of the Greek-Turkish War 1919-1923 (Oxford: Osprey Publishing, 2015), 7. This small book presents a very useful chronology of the major battles of the war.
