Théorie de la guerre. 

Lausanne, Aux dépens de la Société, 1777.
More Details >
500 €

First edition.
Inventor of the term "strategy", it is with the Theory of War (1777) that Maizeroy completed his work of theorization, because although History is much less present there, it is a manual intended for instruction of young officers on elementary tactics and major tactics.
In this work he states that the use of thin or deep order is a choice belonging to the general and thus gives more flexibility to systems on the battlefield.

Lettres de M. le Maréchal Duc de Belleisle, à Mr. Le Maréchal de Contades. 

Paris, Au dépens de la compagnie, 1759.
More Details >
300 €

Set of two books to be used in the history of the Seven Years' War.

The first in the original edition is a collection of letters between the Marshals of Belle-Isle (1684-1761) and of Contades (1704-1793) which we learn were "found among the papers of Monsieur de Contades after the battle from Minden ".
The Battle of Minden was a decisive French defeat in the Seven Years' War. Despite a clear numerical superiority the French led by Contades bowed to the Anglo-Prussians. The Seven Years' War will mark the beginning of the loss of influence of France in Europe and the beginning of English hegemony (which will be definitively recorded at Waterloo).

Followed by :
Collection of letters from H. M. the King of Prussia, to be used in the history of the last war, Leipsick, At the expense of the associated booksellers, 1773
Second complete edition of both parts.
