Synopsis
THE SPECIAL OPERATIONS OF WAR: COMPRISING THE FORCING AND DEFENCE OF DEFILES; THE FORCING AND DEFENCE OF RIVERS, AND THE PASSAGE OF RIVERS IN RETREAT; THE ATTACK AND DEFENCE OF OPEN TOWNS AND VILLAGES; THE CONDUCT OF DETACHMENTS FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES; AND NOTES ON TACTICAL OPERATIONS IN SIEGES by Francis J. Lippitt. This 1868 military treatise is a comprehensive manual on tactical operations in sieges and field campaigns, blending theory with practical guidance. It covers the forcing and defence of defiles, including techniques to flank and assault mountain passes, defend or breach river crossings, and the rare but crucial art of attacking open towns and villages. It also details the conduct of detachments for special purposes and offers notes on siege operations. Drawing on studies from Napoleonic campaigns and the American Civil War, Lippitt provides structured lessons on artillery placement, skirmishers, cavalry actions, reconnaissance, deception, and the integration of infantry, engineers, and armor in complex operations.
