Synopsis
Excerpt from A Nation Trained in Arms, or a Militia?: Lessons in War From the Past and the Present
Heraclitus' description of war as the begetter of all things is equally true at the present day. It cannot be otherwise. Such a world-war as the present, quite apart from its other effects, must produce a very marked quickening of the intellectual activities. It is a result of the world-war that the question discussed in the following pages comes up for discussion once again, and hence it has seemed advisable to examine it thoroughly and impartially. In doing so, all those questions of purely military politics which the future must bring with it will be dis regarded, even if the author does not disguise the conviction to which his study of history and his long experience have brought him. The unprejudiced reader Will admit that not only the words of Heraclitus, but also that saying of Ben Aqiba constantly repeated by Gutzkow There is nothing new under the sun -are equally true to-day.

A Nation Trained in Arms, or a Militia? (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Drawing on historical examples, this book examines the efficacy of conscript armies against forces of career soldiers. The author, a Lieutenant-General and expert on military strategy, argues that a conscript army cannot be expected to perform with the same level of success as a professional army. The author provides a nuanced analysis of the role of training, organization, morale, and leadership in determining the outcome of battles. The author concludes that while conscript armies can be effective in certain situations, they are ultimately no match for a well-trained and experienced professional army.
