Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on Strategy, Vol. 2 of 2 I will gladly comply with your request to write more about Strategy and its technical branch, although I must confess to being surprised at your objections to my manner of dealing with the science which you say is open to attack from the point of deep and earnest study. Frederick the Great threw off to some extent the bonds which the "scientific" rules of pedants had placed on strategy; and another hard and fast system was ruthlessly destroyed by Napoleon's genius and drastic simplicity, which gave ear to sound reason alone. Only be can become master of an art who practises it under the guidance and example of other masters, and it is from the events which have been handed down to us by history, that I seek this guidance and example.
