The Science of Victory

An invincible military leader, an outstanding commander, the founder of military theory and one of the greatest people of the 18th century – all this refers to Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov. He was a man of honor, a man who sincerely loved his Homeland and defended it, not losing a single battle in the process. "The Science of Victory" is a brilliant work that portrays Suvorov not only as a great commander with numerous titles but also as truly the wisest and most educated person of his time. In this monument of Russian military thought, he outlines his views on training soldiers, proper tactics, and methods of engagement, and also touches upon the ethical aspects of war.
