From the Paper:

"In Peter Paret's quote of Napoleon Bonaparte one can hope to understand what he means when speaking of how Napoleon ?recognized the military potential of the changes taking place, and brought them together into a system of unexcelled destructive power.? Most people will read into this and may think the evolution of military weapons is the change, but this would be an inaccurate assumption; the weaponry, which did indeed change, only changed slightly from the days of Louis XIV. Although the evolution of weapons did help, the main changes were the changes in strategy and tactics innovated and implemented by Napoleon."
