The original box is present but split at one edge. Please note that we are selling the maps only, the book is not included. Schlieffen was the best-known military strategist of his time. His theories were to have a profound impact on the development of maneuver warfare in the twentieth century, largely through his treatise, Cannae, which concerned the battle of 216 BC in which Hannibal defeated the Romans. Cannae had two main purposes. First, to clarify, Schlieffen's concepts of maneuver, particularly the maneuver of encirclement, along with other fundamentals of warfare. Second, it was to be an instrument for the Staff, the War Academy, and for the Army all together. His theories were studied exhaustively, especially in the higher army academies of the United States and Europe after World War I. American military thinkers thought so highly of him that his principal literary legacy, Cannae, was translated at Fort Leavenworth and distributed within the U.S. Army and to the academic community.
