Ardant du Picq was an obscure French Colonel, that was defeated and killed in battle. The Value of the book lies in the fact that it contains not alone the unmistakable forecast of the defeat itself, but a luminous statement of those fundamental principles, the neglect of whice led to France's defeat. Napoleon has said that in war the moral element is to all others as three is to one. Moreover, as du Picq impressively demonstrates, while all other circumstances change with time, the human element remains the same, capable of just so much endurance, sacrifice, effort, and no more. Thus, from Caesar to Foch, the essential factor in war endures unmodified. (Frank H. Simonds)
