[Died] March 24, 1869. A soldier, military researcher, and historian from Paris. He first worked in a bank in Paris, but desired military service, and in 1800 was appointed major of the Swiss mercenary battalion. In 1801, he left military service and returned to Paris, where he studied the strategies of Frederick II (the Great) and wrote Traité de grande tactique (later renamed Treatise on Grand Tactics). His work was recognized by General Michel Ney, commander of the French army, and he joined the French army in 1804. In 1805, he was recognized by Napoleon I and appointed colonel of the staff, joining Ney's staff. Later, he came into conflict with Louis-Alexandre Berthier, Napoleon's chief of staff, and decided to retire from French military service. In 1813, he escaped from the French camp and surrendered to the Russian army. In Russia, he was appointed lieutenant general and served on the staff of Alexander I. In 1826 he was promoted to general and became a military advisor to Nicholas I, commanding the Turkish campaign in 1828 and organizing the Russian Military Academy in 1830. He also educated the Crown Prince Alexander II and assisted Nicholas during the Crimean War (1853-56). He spent the last years of his life in Paris, and was an advisor to Napoleon III during his Italian campaign. He also gained early recognition as a tactician. His major works include Principles of Strategy (3 volumes, 1818), History of the Revolutionary Wars (15 volumes, 1820-24), The Life of Napoleon (4 volumes, 1827), and Explanations of the Art of War (1838).
