The Evolution of Tactics (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Evolution of TacticsI have endeavoured to show that at rare intervals of time a great soldier emerges from out the ruck of mediocrity around him, and advances the science of war by the addition Of some new principle, possibly anticipated by theorists, but, until then, not fixed with the hall mark Of experience and success. We are prone to put such success down to heaven-born genius forgetting that all great generals are fallible, like other men, forgetting also what Napoleon Often impressed on his sub ordinate commanders, that the conditions which go to make a great captain are intellect, Character, study, and Opportunity. He was himself essentially a great student, and what he had not read Of military history was not worth reading.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
