Primary Evidence
"Of war there was much; of art in war there was little – as we understand it, none – until Gustavus Adolphus again infused method into what others had done with no method at all. Strategy had rarely shown itself since the days of Cæsar; tactics was whatever suited each nation or tribe, and never rose to the rank of grand-tactics."
