About Charles Oman

  • Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman, (12 January 1860 – 23 June 1946) was a British military historian.
  • His reconstructions of medieval battles from the fragmentary and distorted accounts left by chroniclers were pioneering.
  • Occasionally his interpretations have been challenged, especially his widely copied thesis that British troops defeated their Napoleonic opponents by firepower alone.
  • Paddy Griffith, among modern historians, claims that the British infantry's discipline and willingness to attack were equally important.
