Excerpt from Tactics, Vol. 2
The kind reception accorded his translation of Volume I of Tactics here and abroad, and many urgent requests received from brother officers for a similar book on cavalry and artillery, prompted the translator to undertake the translation of Volume II.
This is an epitome of the interpretation and application of tactical principles in the cavalry, field and heavy artillery of the various armies, discussed in the light of tactical views and methods prevailing in Germany, and amplified by numerous examples from military history.
The author"s views differ in many respects from those generally accepted in our service, but that very fact tends to enhance the value of his work, for it enables the student to see things from a different angle and stimulates reflection.
The translator"s aim has been to reproduce, in English, as faithfully as possible, the ideas of the author. If he has been moderately successful in this, and has helped his brother officers to get a deeper and broader conception of tactics, he will feel amply repaid for his work.
