Antoine-Henri Jomini. Summary of the Art of War: the Principal Combinations of Strategy, Grand Tactics, and Military Politics (French: Précis de l’Art de la Guerre: Des Principales Cominaisons de la Stratégie, de la Grande Tactique et de la Politique) is a military treatise by Antoine-Henri Jomini, originally published as a complete work in 1838.

Then in 1805, Antoine-Henri Jomini published his "Maxims" for war version 1, "Didactic Resume" and "Maxims" for war version 2. Carl von Clausewitz wrote his version in 1812 building on the work of earlier writers. There are no universally agreed-upon principles of war.

The two most significant students of his work were Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian with a background in philosophy, and Antoine-Henri Jomini, who had been one of Napoleon's staff officers. One notable exception to Napoleon's strategy of annihilation and a precursor to trench warfare were the Lines of Torres Vedras during the Peninsular War ...
I should dig up some more Jomini. Maybe Farrow is not required. Clausewitz was mostly concerned with operations, but he did have a bit to say about logistics, which I quoted in the History of Logistics article. Looking at some of the other language articles, the German is just a stub, but the literature section looks very interesting.
