Antoine-Henri Jomini
Antoine-Henri, Baron Jomini (6 March 1779 – 24 March 1869) was a Swiss officer who served as a general in the French and later in the Russian service, and one of the most celebrated writers on the Napoleonic art of war. According to the historian John Shy, Jomini "deserves the dubious title of founder of modern strategy."〔Shy, p. 144〕 Jomini's ideas were a staple at military academies. The senior generals of the American Civil War—those who had attended West Point—were well versed in Jomini's theories.
==Early life and business career==
Jomini was born in Payerne in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland, on 6 March 1779, where〔"Antoine Henri Jomini"〕 his father served as mayor.〔Shy, p. 146〕 The Jominis "were an old Swiss family"〔 of distant Italian descent〔 with a decidedly pro-French outlook.〔 As a young boy, Jomini "was fascinated by soldiers and the art of war," and hoped to join the military, but his parents pushed him towards a career in business. As a result, Jomini entered a business school in Aarau at the age of 14.〔
In April 1795, Jomini left school and went to work at the banking house of Monsieurs Preiswerk in Basle. In 1796, he moved to Paris where he worked first at another banking house and then as a stockbroker.〔 After a short time in banking, however, "Jomini convinced himself that the tedious life of a banker was not to be compared with the life afforded in French Army," and decided to become a military officer as soon as he found an opportunity.〔Hittle, p. 3〕
