The Science of Winning

Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov — an outstanding Russian commander who never lost a battle and repeatedly defeated enemy forces significantly superior in numbers. He underwent his 'combat baptism' and demonstrated his talent in the Seven Years' War, and then in two Russo-Turkish Wars. Legends began to be told during Suvorov's lifetime about his troop's crossing of the Alps during the Swiss Campaign. Throughout his military career from 1759 to 1799, Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov commanded units and formations of Russian, and sometimes Austrian, troops in 61 battles. In none of them did the commander suffer defeat.

Suvorov also contributed to the development of the modern system of military science education, and his pedagogical methods continued to be used even in the Red Army. He became famous as a man of extraordinary discipline and courage, but he was also known for his impartiality and fairness in dealing with subordinates and ordinary soldiers.
