Excerpt from The Campaign, Vol. 1 of 3: Santiago De Cuba
The recent Spanish-American War, while possessing, as every war does, characteristics of its own, nevertheless, in its broad analogies, falls into line with its predecessors, evidencing that unity of teaching which pervades the art from its beginning unto this day. It has, moreover, the special value of illustrating the reciprocal needs and offices of the army and navy, than which no lesson is more valuable to a nation situated as ours is. - Mahan.
After a war one ought to write not only the history of what has taken place, but also the history of what was intended. - Von der Goltz.
Fools say that you can only gain experience at your own expense, but I have always contrived to gain my experience at the expense of others. - Bismarck.
War is a business of positions. - Napoleon.
