NAPOLEON - WAR AND BIBLIOGRAPHY

What Napoleon said on the importance of bibliography:

“ … a special school of history and the student initially would take a course in bibliography a young man, instead spending months wandering around in inadequate or unreliable readings, would be directed to the best work and would more easily and quickly attain better instruction.” 
(Luvaas, J. 1999. Napoleon on the Art of War)
