Excerpt from Inquiries Into the Tactics of the Future: Developed From Modern Military History
The book herewith presented for the first time in English is a development of the work entitled "Two Brigades," and in its present form is, as the author says, what he originally had in mind. In describing the process of evolution by which the book has reached its present form, the author remarks that though the original work was well received in South Germany, France, Austria, and other European countries, it met with a cold reception in North Germany; probably because nobody likes to have his own mistakes pointed out. He intimates that although the Official Account of the Franco-German War is based on all publications and documents that appeared in print previous to its publication, and although it is undoubtedly the best technical account of military operations ever published, it cannot be denied that some thing have either been glossed over or that the compilers were, in some instances, misled by the defective accounts and reports of eye-witnesses. In fact, it is impossible to avoid the impression that the German General Staff, in compiling the Official Account, was careful to let no opportunity slip to increase the prestige of the German arms, and especially to avoid impairing that prestige when unpleasant facts could be passed over with a few words.
