Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Military Biography Of the Essays here republished, the first four relate to the great war in America, the military excellence displayed in which has been unduly depreciated by comparison with late events on the Continent. There is a disposition to regard the American generals, and the troops they led, as altogether inferior to regular soldiers. This prejudice was born out of the blunders and want of coherence exhibited by undisciplined volunteers at the outset, faults amply atoned for by the stubborn courage displayed on both sides throughout the rest of the struggle: while, if a mans claims to be regarded as a veteran are to be measured by the amount of actual fighting he has gone through, the most seasoned soldiers of Europe are but as conscripts compared with the survivors of that conflict. The conditions of war on a grand scale were illustrated to the full as much in the contest in America, as in those more recently waged on the Continent.

Download or read book Military Letters and Essays Classic Reprint written by F. N. Maude and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Military Letters and Essays To bring this point out it was necessary to have frequent recourse to forgotten histories and biographies, and thus I account for the pres ence of the several reviews embodied in this collection. Moreover, armament and skill on the part of the leaders being equal, victory, under all conditions of improvements conceivable in weapons, will ultimately remain with the best disciplined troops, and by discipline I understand that quality which is measured by the endurance of loss by troops under fire, having due regard, of course, to the circumstances of time, ground, and employment under which the losses were inflicted. No training in which this ultimate end of discipline is lost sight of is worth the time wasted on it, and, reading between the lines, it will be very evident that I am far from considering that all the time spent in military training in England is employed to the best advantage. This accounts for the descriptions of field days, etc., which may appear to many to possess but ephemeral interest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights and Shades of Military Life It is necessary to apprise the reader, before he commences the perusal of this work, that the volumes composing it pro oecd from the pens of two different writers. The first portion is the production Of Count de Vigny, who is known to his countrymen as the author Of the historical novel, Cinq Mars, and other works of fiction: and the contents of the second are taken from a publication by M. Elzear Blaze. The former commenced his military career just after the first dethronement of Napoleon, and, weary of inactive service, has relinquished the sword for the pen. The latter, on finishing his studies at the military academy Of Fontainebleau, joined the French army soon after the battle of Eylau, and was attached to it either in Poland, Germany, or Spain, during all the succeeding campaigns in one or other of those countries, till the conclusion Of the general peace.
