APPENDIX: THE BONAPARTE FAMILY Jomini's influence on military thinking was huge and lasted long after his death; for many military men, Jomini was the translator of the secrets of Napoleon's genius. If Napoleon was the god of war, wrote Antoine Grouard, then Jomini was his prophet. To make war into a science, Jomini set himself the task of establishing principles which were as fixed as the laws of physics. For him, the recipe for victory was to mobilise, at a decisive point and at the right moment, more forces than the enemy. As with many theoreticians of war, he had a tendency to apply principles where there were was sometimes only intuition, chance or accident (Lee Kennett).
