N o major edition of Napoleons Military Maxims has been published in Great Britain since the turn of this century, notwithstanding there having been many, many dramatic military events upon which comment in the context of Napoleons military genius might well be made. Consequently it would seem an apposite moment to produce an up-dated version of the 1901 edition, retaining the observations of William E. Cairnes relating to the Great Boer War and the original annotations dating back to 1831 or possibly earlier, but adding, in the main, comments on the basis of selected dramatic military happenings of this century the two World Wars, Korea, the post-1945 struggles associated with decolonisation, Vietnam, the Falklands, Grenada, and the Middle Easts whole range of conflicts from 1948 to the present, not to exclude the Gulf War and current events in Afghanistan both of which wars have now long passed their seventh anniversaries. Napoleon would today have been more of a hawk than a dove of peace, and his views on the on-going nuclear debate would have been direct and not to the liking of the faint-hearted. It is a principle of war, he once wrote, that when it is possible to employ thunderbolts their use should be preferred to that of cannon.
