Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. "The "Special Campaign" Series deals with the history of events in the technical aspects, and the tactics of each volume is interspersed with strategic and tactical comments and illustrated by numerous sketches.STRATEGY is a term of wide significance. It is applied to the plans, combinations and movements in war whereby the probability of success is increased, the effect of victory enhanced and the results of defeat minimized. It embraces the art of the general in conducting operations on the theatre of war, and the methods by which he seeks to bring the enemy to battle. In warfare between the armed nations of Europe but little scope is afforded for the brilliant combinations that marked the era of Napoleon. The existence of telegraphic communication eliminates to a great extent the chance of surprise, while the movements of great bodies of troops are restricted by their dependence on railway systems. Sedan was the result of a strategy more methodical than that which led to Jena. Foresight, calculation and sound judgment have to a great extent taken the place of genius, and success depends more on the mechanical working of the war machine than on the personal influence of any one leader."Ex military library stock so expect to see lighter than expected wear and possible markings and annotations in the text.
