Excerpt from Inquiries Into the Tactics of the Future: Developed From Modern Military History

It is, too, rather unusual to find a European author who refers to the War of Secession as an evidence of a sound military fact, and we cannot help remarking how far in advance of most of the European critics he is when we read the following passage: The armor shields and armored clothing prepared by the Danes and others do not seem suit able for field service as protection against projectiles, but, on the other hand, the construction of rified trenches, etc. By means of the spade, will play a great role in future bat tles; occasions for their use will arise for the attacker as well as for the defender, since it is very probable that there will be battles of several days' duration - which, however, are nothing new. In this connection it is sufficient to recall the North American Civil War.'
