Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Battle StudiesAncient and Modern BattleBy Colonel Ardant Du PicqFrench ArmyTranslated From The Eighth Edition In The FrenchBy Colonel John N. Greely, Field Artillery, U.S. ArmyAnd Major Robert C. Cotton, General Staff (Infantry), U.S. ArmyJoint Author of "Military Field Notebook"Battle is the final objective of armies and man is the fundamental instrument in battle. Nothing can wisely be prescribed in an army--its personnel, organization, discipline and tactics, things which are connected like the fingers of a hand--without exact knowledge of the fundamental instrument, man, and his state of mind, his morale, at the instant of combat.Colonel Ardant du Picq's "Battle Studies" is a French military classic. It is known to every French army officer; it is referred to as an established authority in such works as Marshal Foch's "The Principles of War." It has been eagerly read in the original by such American army officers as have chanced upon it; probably only the scarcity of thinking men with military training has precluded the earlier appearance of an American edition.The translators feel that the war with Germany which brought with it some military training for all the best brains of the country has prepared the field for an American edition of this book. They are sure that every American reader who has had actual battle experience in any capacity will at some point say to himself, "That is absolutely true." or, "That reminds me of the day."

This translation is based on the Eighth French edition. This book was originally published in English in 1920. This classic work explains the disasters of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, and helps to predict the successes of World War I. Ardant du Picq was a colonel in the French Army who was killed in 1870 in the Franco-Prussian War. The work was not completed by him, but Du Picq had written many chapters completely and left sufficient notes behind to complete the book. The theme of the book, according to Marshal Foch, is that "moral force" is the most powerful element in the strength of armies and the preponderating influence in the outcome of battles. Du Picq's work attempts to deal with the principles of warfare as an empirical study, based on case studies of battles. Battle Studies became a key textbook in the French Army's École de Guerre in the years leading to World War I. Charles Jean Jacques Joseph Ardant du Picq (19 October 1821 - 18 August 1870) was a French Army officer and military theorist whose writings, as they were later interpreted by other theorists, had a great effect on French military theory and doctrine. Ardant du Picq was born on 19 October 1821. On 1 October 1844, upon graduation from the École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr, he was commissioned a sublieutenant in the 67th. As a captain, he saw action in the French expedition to Varna (April-June 1853) during the Crimean War. Transferred to the 9th Chasseurs a Pied battalion December 1854, he was captured during the storming of the central bastion of Sevastopol in September 1855. He was released in December 1855 and returned to active duty. du Picq served in Syria from August 1860 to June 1861 during the French intervention. He also saw extensive service in Algeria (1864-66. He was in France at the outbreak of war with Prussia on 15 July 1870 and took command of his regiment, the Tenth Regiment of the Line. He died on 18 August 1870 at the military hospital in Metz, from wounds received at the Battle of Mars-la-Tour. Reprint Edition [Copyright date is 1946.].

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Battle Studies is a classic military study, written by an obscure French colonel of a defeated army, Ardant du Picq, a colonel in the French Army who was killed in 1870 in the Franco-Prussian War. It offers a valuable account of the defeat caused by the neglect of those fundamental principles necessary for victory. The theme of the book, according to Marshal of France Ferdinand Foch, is that "moral force" is the most powerful element in the strength of armies and the preponderating influence in the outcome of battles. In general form, he states: Combat is the object, the cause of being, and the supreme manifestation of an army. Every measure that does not keep combat as the object of the army is fatal. All the resources accumulated in time of peace, all the training, and all the strategic calculations must have the goal of combat. The human element is more important than theories. War is still more of an art than a science. One popular quote demonstrating this conclusion drawn from numerous battle studies states, "Nothing can wisely be prescribed in any army. without exact knowledge of the fundamental instrument, man, and his state of mind, his morale, at the instant of combat."[1] Great strategists and leaders of men are marked by inspiration. "Generals of genius draw from the human heart ability to execute a surprising variety of movements which vary the routine; the mediocre ones, who have no eyes to read readily, are doomed to the worst errors." Du Picq's work attempts to deal with the principles of warfare as an empirical study, based on case studies of battles. Battle Studies became a key textbook in the French Army's Ecole de Guerre in the years leading to World War I. This item is printed on demand.
