Download or read book Principles of War written by Archduke Charles Von Hapsburg and published by Nimble Books. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential hole in knowledge of the art of warfare in the 1800s is now filled. Scholars and aficionados of warfare use strategic tomes to broaden their understanding of why certain countries' armies took specific actions in preference to other options, and how these thereby influenced history. This first English translation of the Archduke Charles von Hapsburg's "Grundsaetze der hohenkriegskunst," illuminates the strategy of the Austro-Hungarian empire, which was one of the major participants in European conflicts in the 19th century. A must-read for everyone interested in the Napoleonic Era, this work constituted a "bible" for many of the actual commanders of the period and fills the recognized gap between theory and practice discovered in so many works of the times such as Jomini's and Clausewitz's. If you are a military, period, or regional historian, a game simulator or participant, or just someone interested in the Art of War as practiced through the ages, this book will fill a useful spot on your shelf. "...an excellent translation of a seminal work in Austrian military history"--Gunther Rothenberg Former Director of Strategic Studies, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, author of Napoleon's Great Adversaries "...a very able addition to a Napoleonic library"--David G. Chandler Former Head of the Royal Military Academy[Sandhurst], Sussex, UK, author of Campaigns of Napoleon

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of War Shepherds' fires lit on a stormy coast, to guide the uncertain seaman these lines might well be applied to the following pages. They were written for young officers. The reader must not look to find in them a complete, a methodical, still less an academic account of the art of war, but rather a mere discussion of certain fundamental points in the conduct of troops, and above all the direction which the mind must be given so that it may in every circumstance conceive a manoeuvre at least rational. If it prove useful in this respect, by enlightening the reader, or by giving him a sound direction, this book will have fulfilled its purpose. When young officers 1om their regiments and propose to study the conduct of troops in the field, they hear talk of certain principles which govern war. They attempt in vain to discover those guiding principles; they cannot find them either in what they have been previously taught, or in the reading of military works. Principles, they are told, are a matter of common sense, of judgment; their application varies according to circumstance; they cannot be written down or learned. When the moment comes for exercise on varied ground and for the autumn manoeuvres, they hear their senior officers criticise in the name of these same principles the tactics adopted. It then appears that though their elders know these famous principles, they often apply them wrongly. It is yet another example of the great gulf between the knowledge of a truth and its use in practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Concept Formation in Global Studies written by Gennaro Ascione and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book proposes a new epistemological and methodological approach to concept formation across human and natural sciences, beyond Eurocentrism and specism. It elaborates a method enabling global epistemics to cope with multiplex challenges coming from geohistorical as well as epistemological standpoints whose methodological potential remains unexplored. It assumes monstrosity as the generative grammar of a new holistic approach to human knowledge, and draws from postcolonial, decolonial or post-western perspectives to place new methodological cornerstones, as well as from arts, astrology and magic from the Islamic and European Renaissance, indigenous knowledge, genetics, theoretical physics or Afrofuturism. The book aims at provoking a shift in critical perspectives, which do not acknowledge their own inability to steam an appropriate methodology of terminological and conceptual elaboration for the lexicon of contemporary human knowledge, out of a pressing demand: once agreed upon the world as a single yet multilayered spacetime of analysis, how should research about large-scale/long-term processes of social change advance, in order to cope with the asymmetrical power relations that materialize colonial history through heterarchies of class, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, knowledge, cosmology and ecology? This book struggles against the prejudice that the instances heterogeneous yet non canonical epistemics are in fact exclusively confined to provincial, exotic or solipsistic particularisms; therefore never as universalistic as the dominant ones. To address this problem, the book proposes: a different way to think of the relation between the abstract and the concrete; a new relation between data or histories, and concepts; an alternative pathway to cross-cultural translation in conceptual and terminological analysis; a new posture to inhabit the spacetimes at the border between translation and untranslatability.
Download or read book Small Wars Their Principles and Practice written by C. E. Callwell and published by . This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small Wars discusses the Western experience in fighting campaigns of imperial conquest. Callwell's work and extensive research has made this volume a military classic. Warfare topics range from from Hoche's suppression of the Vende's revolt during the French Revolution, to the British wars against semi-organized armies of Marathas and Sikhs in mid-nineteenth-century India, to the Boer War of 1899-1902. Callwell concludes that technological superiority is important, but not the most important ingredient in low intensity warfare. An army must adapt to climate, terrain, an enemies mobility, and take what an enemy values most.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of the Art and Science of War and Their Application in Modern Warfare: With Remarks on the Handling of Troops on the Field of Battle, as at Present Practiced The idea of preparing this work occurred to me during the course of instruction in Mahan's Outpost at this school last fall. The above text-book having been published before the introduction of breech loading weapons, and previous to the modifications in tactics made necessary by their introduction, as exemplified in recent wars, it is desirable that some of the principles developed during the progress of these wars should be embraced in a preliminary study of the Art of War. It is hoped that this result will to some extent be accomplished by this volume, which is a compilation from the best works bearing on these subjects, embodying the principles deduced from a study of the history of these wars, and the opinions of many active participants in them who are considered to be authorities on the questions they have considered.

Book excerpt: The Man Has Been Gifted By A Natural Instinct Of Fighting To Acquire More And More Resources And Politi¬Cal Power Which Has Been Instrumen¬Tal In Devising New Techniques Of Fighting, Thereby Effecting Its Concep¬Tual Framework As Also The Outcome, From The Time Of The Fight Between The Two Individuals To A War Fought Bet¬Ween The Organised Mass Armies. Not Many People Know What Actually, War Is And What Are Its Theoretical And Practical Aspects?The Present Study Seeks To Define War From The Legal, Political, Socio¬Logical And Military Angles Along With The Assessment Of The Factors Which Have Influenced Its Practical Aspect. This Is Followed By A Systematic Eva¬Luation Regarding The Growth Of The War On The Basis Of The Drives, Func¬Tions And Techniques Which Have Been Helpful In Evolving The Theory Of War Since The Ancient Times In The Form Of Animal Warfare, Primitive Warfare, Civilized Warfare And The Modern Warfare, Including A Separate Dealing With The Last Of Them Along-With Its Salient Features.Having Realized The Inter-Depen¬Dence Of The State S Policy And The War, The Author Attempts To Critically Analyse Their Mutual Relationship In The Form Of The War As An Instrument Of Policy .In Order To Substantiate The Con¬Ceptual Aspect Of The Conduct Of War, The Study Aims At Evaluating Various Internationally Accepted Principles Of War As Practised By Prominent Mili¬Tary Commanders From Time To Time, And Concludes That Their Application May Not Transform The War Into A Mathematical Calculation But, When Applied Properly, They Can Favourably Influence Its Outcome.
