An officer in training can either be trained in a military college like West Point, or taken from the enlisted ranks. After this training is complete, the recruit in question becomes a fully fledged officer, taking on a commanding position in his or her military branch." Good. Sticker residue on back cover.…

Mint paperback reprint. 126pp. This reprint is a combination of three pamphlets on this weapon: two British Army Small Arms training manuals (1939 and 1942) and a short but very clear pamphlet sold at the beginning of the Second World War with simple but effective instructions on how to use the gun.

Mint paperback reprint. 194pp. This is the 1942 provisional manual for instructors of Fieldcraft and Battle Drill. The concept of battle drills was only just beginning to appear in the training schedules of British infantry units, and this manual is the first that appeared. It covers Fieldcraft in detail, and then looks at section and platoon battle drills for the attack. It also covers the platoon in offensive defence. Further sections explain company battledrills, and carrier section battledrills. It ends with an analysis of the German and British methods in attack and defence, and a short section on dogs in war. This is a rare find, but is valuable in that the author(s) had had experience in the Spanish Civil War or in France 1940, and were aware of the problems facing the British army in taking on the Germans, who had much more modern and effective battle drills at the start of the Second World War. A valuable book, which eventually led to the 1944 infantry training manuals (also reprinted by MLRS Books).…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An official overview of the war in Zululand This concisely written account of the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 offers an essential authoritative foundation from a military perspective for any modern student of the conflict. It, of course, is an original source work, produced three years after the events themselves and benefits from the input of many of the military participants. As a consequence, the activities and involvement of several units and lesser known personalities appear in these pages which will possibly offer new information, even for those students of the period comparatively familiar with its principal engagements.Naturally, the war is considered according to the perspectives of the time and as usual by the victors. Nevertheless, this book is a thorough and dispassionate assessment of the movements and dispositions of the British army on campaign and in battle prepared by expert military authors together with factual descriptions-devoid of opinion or censure- of the outcomes of its actions in each theatre of operations. Contains maps of principal and minor engagements together with useful diagrams originally prepared at time of first publication. ??Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.…
