Excerpt from Summary of the Course of Permanent Fortification: And of the Attack and Defence of Permanent Works, for the Use of the Cadets of the U. S. Military Academy 3... References. The numbers which express the distances of the lines from the plane of comparison, are termed references. The unit in which these distances are expressed, is usually the linear foot and its decimal divisions. As the position assumed for the plane of comparison is arbitrary, it may be taken either above or below every point of the surface to be projected. In the French military service, it is usually taken above; in our own, below the surface. The latter seems the more natural and is more convenient, as vertical distances are more habitually estimated from below upward than in the contrary direction. Each of these methods has the advantage of requiring but one kind of symbol to be used, viz: the numerals expressing the references; whereas, if the plane of comparison were so taken that some of the lines projected should lie on one side of it and some on the other, then it would be necessary to use, in connection with the references, the algebraic symbols plus or minus, to designate those lines above the plane from those below it. This method of representing objects has given rise to a very useful modification of the ordinary one of orthogonal projections on two planes, and has been denominated one plane descriptive geometry; the plane of comparison being the sole plane of projection; the references taking the place of the usual projections on a vertical plane. By this modification, the number of lines to be drawn is greatly decreased; the complication of the drawing lessened; the graphical operations required in the solution of problems, presented by the drawing, simplified; and the relations of the parts more readily seized upon, as the eye is confined to one plane of projection alone.

"Authoritative and convincing."—New York Times Book Review The classic reference on the theory and practice of war The essays in this volume analyze war, its strategic characterisitics, and its political and social functions over the past five centuries. The diversity of its themes and the broad perspectives applied to them make the book a work of general history as much as a history of the theory and practice of war from the Renaissance to the present. Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age takes the first part of its title from an earlier collection of essays that became a classic of historical scholarship. Three essays are repinted from the earlier book while four others have been extensively revised. The rest—twenty-two essays—are new. The subjects addressed range from major theorists and political and military leaders to impersonal forces. Machiavelli, Clausewitz, and Marx and Engels are discussed, as are Napoleon, Churchill, and Mao. Other essays trace the interaction of theory and experience over generations—the evolution of American strategy, for instance, or the emergence of revolutionary war in the modern world. Still others analyze the strategy of particular conflicts—the First and Second World Wars—or the relationship between technology, policy, and war in the nuclear age. Whatever its theme, each essay places the specifics of military thought and action in their political, social, and economic environment. Together, the contributors have produced a book that reinterprets and illuminates war, one of the most powerful forces in history and one that cannot be controlled in the future without an understanding of its past.

While faith in the Enlightenment was waning elsewhere by 1850, at the United States Military Academy at West Point and in the minds of academy graduates serving throughout the country Enlightenment thinking persisted, asserting that war was governable by a grand theory accessible through the study of military science. Officers of the regular army and instructors at the military academy and their political superiors all believed strongly in the possibility of acquiring a perfect knowledge of war through the proper curriculum. A Scientific Way of War analyzes how the doctrine of military science evolved from teaching specific Napoleonic applications to embracing subjects that were useful for war in North America. Drawing from a wide array of materials, Ian C. Hope refutes earlier charges of a lack of professionalization in the antebellum American army and an overreliance on the teachings of Swiss military theorist Antoine de Jomini. Instead, Hope shows that inculcation in West Point’s American military curriculum eventually came to provide the army with an officer corps that shared a common doctrine and common skill in military problem solving. The proliferation of military science ensured that on the eve of the Civil War there existed a distinctly American, and scientific, way of war. Purchase the audio edition.
