But what is coup d'oeil? Carl von Clausewitz spent twenty years struggling to pin down the genius of Napoleon. In chapter six of what would become &#8220;On War&#8221; he discovered the secret of Napoleon&#8217;s strategy: Napoleon's glance. Clausewitz calls it &#8220;coup d'oeil&#8221; meaning a stroke of the eye, or &#8220;glance.&#8221; A sudden insight that shows you what course of action to take, it comes from knowledge of the past, drawing on what worked in other situations in a new combination that fits the problem at hand. In Napoleon&#8217;s Glance, Duggan expertly weaves intellectual history and biography in showing how important and decisive coup d&#8217;oeil is in determining victory in war, art, the civil rights movement, third world development, and the battle for women&#8217;s suffrage in America.</div> 427850 2004 Napoleon's Glance: The Secret of Strategy (Nation Books) total:9|5:1|4:1|3:3|2:3|1:1| 9 25 14 1 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 1 0 false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 18:07:18 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 12 18:19:16 -0700 2009 more...]]> 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 0 0 false Mon Jun 29 07:59:24 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 07:59:24 -0700 2009 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 2 0 false Thu Jun 25 21:44:43 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 21:44:47 -0700 2009 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 0 0 false Tue Jan 13 17:48:51 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 17:48:51 -0800 2009 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 2 0 false Fri Nov 14 14:56:03 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 14:56:12 -0800 2008 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 3 0 false Wed May 28 06:49:51 -0700 2008 Wed May 28 06:49:51 -0700 2008 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 0 0 false Mon Feb 11 19:49:06 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 11 19:49:25 -0800 2008 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 0 0 false Thu Oct 18 17:41:44 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 18 17:41:44 -0700 2007 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 3 0 false Wed Oct 17 19:50:38 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 17 19:50:38 -0700 2007 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 2 0 false Fri Sep 28 18:23:39 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 18 14:46:17 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 18 14:46:20 -0700 2007 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 3 0 false Tue Aug 28 09:58:03 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 28 09:58:03 -0700 2007 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 5 0 false Fri Jul 13 06:48:23 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 13 06:48:23 -0700 2007 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 4 0 false Tue Jun 19 07:57:43 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 19 07:57:43 -0700 2007 439003 1560256028 9781560256021 9 1 2.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174776079m/439003.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/439003.Napoleon_s_Glance_The_Secret_of_Strategy 0 0 false Sat Mar 24 15:41:26 -0700 2007 Sat Mar 24 15:41:43 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=439003
