The System of Field ManÅ"uvres (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a tactical analysis of military manoeuvres in the context of the Franco-Prussian War and the new weaponry of the era, particularly breech-loading rifles and the mitrailleuse. Its arguments are informed by a careful examination of recent changes in Prussian drill and the experiences of the war's major battles. The author provides recommendations on how to modify the British system of field manoeuvres to meet the challenges of modern warfare, including an emphasis on adaptive formations, tactical independence for captains, and a diminished reliance on prescribed words of command. The book is a valuable contribution to the military history and theory of the late 19th century and offers insights that remain relevant to military strategists today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
