Excerpt from The Art of Fighting: Its Evolution and Progress, With Illustrations From Campaigns of Great Commanders
The evils of war are so heart-rending that every friend of the human race would greet with joy the coming of permanent peace, and would aid every movement tending to ensure it.
Nevertheless until it is certain that war has actually been banished from the earth, armies and navies must be maintained. In order to give their country the protection needed, each army and navy must be correctly designed, prepared, and operated.
To know whether this is being done, the people need a general knowledge of the principles of the art of fighting, especially of strategy.
To impart this knowledge in simple language is the object of this book.
