Princeton University Press, 2009. Hardcover with dust jacket of The Cognitive Challenge of War: Prussia 1806 by Peter Paret.
Responding to the enemy's innovation in war presents problems to soldiers and societies of all times. This book traces Napoleon's victory over Prussia in 1806 and Prussia's effort to recover from defeat to show how in one particular historical episode operational analyses together with institutional and political decisions eventually turned defeat to victory.
Very Good. Nice book with light shelf wear.
