Items related to Napoleon's Glance: The Secrets of Strategy
In Napoleon's Glance William Duggan discovers the secret of Napoleon's success--coup d'oeil (pronounced koo-DOY) meaning a stroke of the eye, or "glance": a sudden insight that shows you what course of action to take. It comes from knowledge of the past: You draw on what worked in other situations, in a new combination that fits the problem at hand. Napoleon's Glance--probably the first book to link Napoleon's victories to Picasso's development as an artist!--tells how 10 great strategists owed their success to coup d'oeil. All 10 applied it with great effort and risk and no guarantee it would work. But in case after case, we find the same story: How American women won the vote. How General Patton became the most successful Allied general on the Western Front of World War II. How Joan of Arc saved France from certain conquest by England. How in one generation Japan went from a peasant backwater to an industrial giant. How Picasso became the leading artist of the twentieth century. Though there have been scores of books written about Napoleon, this is the first popular book written for the general reader about his military strategy.

Review:
"The book's own stroke of genius is Duggan's coherent reporting of coup d'oeil as it occurs throughout the centuries, while at the same time relating it in a way sure to inspire readers to discover their own formulas for success."
Book Description:
From Picasso to Patton, the Suffragettes to the Samurai, William Duggan shows how the secret of Napoleon's success on the battlefields of Europe has also been used by distinguished world figures including General Wesley Clark
