Something, possibly, should be allowed for the difference of nationality and temperament of the two writers and, in any case, the writing of the English Cavalry Officer carries with it, I venture to think, by its directness and simplicity, a conviction of accuracy and absence of exaggeration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cavalry Studies From Two Great Wars The three monographs united in this volume are each believed to possess peculiar and positive merit. The work of Colonel (now General) Bonie appeared very soon after the close of the Franco-German War, having been written, as it were, in the smoke of battle. In this respect it differs materially from the book of Major Kaehler, which is a recent production, and now makes its appearance in English for the first time. While Kaehler, unlike Bonie, does not write as an eye-witness and with the experience of an actual participator in the events described, he has had the advantage of historical researches which were not available to the French author, and though his book is naturally a less vivid picture, it can doubtless lay claim to greater historical accuracy than that of its companion. The essay on "The Operations of the Cavalry in the Gettysburg Campaign," by Lieutenant-Colonel George B. Davis, U.S.A., first appeared in the Journal of the U. S. Cavalry Association, several years ago; but it has been revised by its author especially for the International Series. It is presented in this volume, not only because of its intrinsic merit as a study of the methods of the cavalry in one of our greatest campaigns, but also because of the picture it presents of the screening and reconnoitering duty of cavalry more than seven years before the performance of similar duty by the German cavalry astonished Europe as with a new discovery in war.

My opinion of the subject with which it deals is already SO well known throughout the army that I need not labour to say how entirely I agree with the author's main thesis indeed, anyone who will take the trouble to read Cavalry Training will see that I anticipated the arguments which he has so ably developed. This being so, it is not surprising that I should view the regulations laid down in Cavalry Training with some concern.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under the Red Flag A campaign would be a triumph for French arms, of course; but such triumphs, however certain, are never won without loss. For France as a people there must needs be profit and fame; but for individuals - well, even in a succession Of victories some French blood must be shed, some French corpses must lie scattered on distant battle-fields - there must be cypress as well as laurel. Yet the idea of impending war was not un pleasant. It electrified the intellectual atmosphere, set the hearts of men and women throbbing with new hopes, new fears. To elderly people it seemed only the other day that the army was coming home in triumph after the Italian War, and France was crowning the liberators Of a sister land; but to the young people that Italian campaign seemed to have happened a long while ago. It was time that France should arise in her might and strike a great blow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Soft the full moon's rays Fall on our ranks close pressed, Making our sabers laugh; While many a heart sinks low, Thinking of far-off homes. Ha! all the firmer grasp Take we of our good steeds And of our weapons bright, Till man and horse and blade Tremble - to get the word: "Charge!" Deep strike the spurs; Forward we dash in line, Till with a mighty crash Into their midst we leap, Driving and crushing them! Hi! ya! See how they drop 'Neath our swift, gleaming steel! We are not human now - We are but raging fiends; We slash, and seek to kill While any foeman stays. "Halt!" O our horses' manes Wiping our bloody swords, Stupid we gaze around - What are those writhing forms? O God! what have we done?

Book excerpt: The outbreak of the Seven Years War saw the formation of new alliances and led to the conduct of military operations in several theaters simultaneously. The campaign of 1757 saw large-scale maneuvers, with their necessary operational corollaries of supply and logistics, as France put an army of 100,000 men into the field. The conduct of the campaign also testifies to the difficulty of exercising command in the face of a court and a government for which short-term results took precedence over means. Notwithstanding such difficulties, the campaign of the French armies in Westphalia saw its climax play out around the village of Hastenbeck on 26 July 1757, where the forces of Maréchal d'Estrées gained a victory that came close to knocking Hanover out of the war. The story of the campaign can be told from the human perspective thanks to the large body of memoirs and letters from officers, both general and subordinate, of cavalry and infantry regiments. Having left their garrisons four months earlier, they had come to battle at the gates of Hanover after having traveled more than 600 kilometers through the Low Countries and into Germany.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon Buonaparte, Vol. 2 of 4 Napoleon's army was composed of eight divismns of infantry and a reserve of cavalry, consisting of infantry, 3000 artillerymen, serving 120 guns, and 5000 cavalry. The King of Sardinia was to have furnished a contingent of troops; but the Directory, by refusing to ratify the armistice of Bologna, deprived the French General of this re source; and the Venetians, with whom he had been in treaty for a similar aid, showed so hostile a dis position that he was obliged to leave men in reserve on the Adige to watch their motions. He had also hoped that the armies of the Sambre and Meuse and of the Rhine would have been united in one army of men; and proceeding from Strasburg through Bavaria would have joined the army of Italy, which, crossing the Tagliamento and the Julian Alps, would direct its march on the Simering, and both together, forming a body of near men, enter Vienna, while an army of oh servation of men defended Holland and block aded Ehrenbreitstein and the fortresses on the Rhine. But the Directory had no such thoughts in their head, and persisted, in spite of the experience of the last campaign, either from narrowness of mind or a mean jealousy, in keeping the armies separate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern, scholarly account of the most decisive campaign during the American Revolution examining the artillery, tactics and leadership involved. The siege of Yorktown in the fall of 1781 was the single most decisive engagement of the American Revolution. The campaign has all the drama any historian or student could want: the war’s top generals and admirals pitted against one another; decisive naval engagements; cavalry fighting; siege warfare; night bayonet attacks; and much more. Until now, however, no modern scholarly treatment of the entire campaign has been produced. By the summer of 1781, America had been at war with England for six years. No one believed in 1775 that the colonists would put up such a long and credible struggle. France sided with the colonies as early as 1778, but it was the dispatch of 5,500 infantry under Comte de Rochambeau in the summer of 1780 that shifted the tide of war against the British. In early 1781, after his victories in the Southern Colonies, Lord Cornwallis marched his army north into Virginia. Cornwallis believed the Americans could be decisively defeated in Virginia and the war brought to an end. George Washington believed Cornwallis’s move was a strategic blunder, and he moved vigorously to exploit it. Feinting against General Clinton and the British stronghold of New York, Washington marched his army quickly south. With the assistance of Rochambeau's infantry and a key French naval victory at the Battle off the Capes in September, Washington trapped Cornwallis on the tip of a narrow Virginia peninsula at a place called Yorktown. And so it began. Operating on the belief that Clinton was about to arrive with reinforcements, Cornwallis confidently remained within Yorktown’s inadequate defenses. Determined that nothing short of outright surrender would suffice, his opponent labored day and night to achieve that end. Washington’s brilliance was on display as he skillfully constricted Cornwallis’s position by digging entrenchments, erecting redoubts and artillery batteries, and launching well-timed attacks to capture key enemy positions. The nearly flawless Allied campaign sealed Cornwallis’s fate. Trapped inside crumbling defenses, he surrendered on October 19, 1781, effectively ending the war in North America. Penned by historian Jerome A. Greene, The Guns of Independence: The Siege of Yorktown, 1781 offers a complete and balanced examination of the siege and the participants involved. Greene’s study is based upon extensive archival research and firsthand archaeological investigation of the battlefield. This fresh and invigorating study will satisfy everyone interested in American Revolutionary history, artillery, siege tactics, and brilliant leadership.
