Publication

Strike at the head, wrong-foot the enemy, appear from nowhere… These are some of the audacious tactics analysed in Qui ose vaincra.

Following the successes of L'Art de conduire une bataille and Les 7 Péchés capitaux du chef militaire, this third volume explores the different forms of boldness in combat, from the Battle of Gaugamela in 331 BC to the capture of the Ouadi Doum base in 1987.

Drawing on numerous examples from military history, Colonels Gilles Haberey and Hugues Perot demonstrate that risk-taking is an essential ingredient of victory, and that the whole art of command lies in daring, deceiving, creating surprise and innovating…

From Antiquity to the late twentieth century, the reader is immersed — through numerous illustrations and 80 original maps — in the boldest tactics and most ingenious commando operations… and discovers, with fascination, how a handful of determined men can, at times, change the course of History.
