Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Military Memoirs of Great Britain: Or, a History of the War, 1755 1763 Of all the various branches of literature, which convey instruction or amusement to mankind, none afford so great a proportion of both, upon such easy terms, as Hi Rory. Every step we proceed in it, increases our ardour; and the pleasure we receive, makes us consider it as an agreeable relaxation. The intervals of peace, however much they may be esteemed the seasons of happiness, furnish few events deserving the attention of an historian. The animated exertions of war, can alone give full scope to all the nobler pa {lions. They call forth into action, the elevated virtues of courage, generosity, and disinterestedness; and produce deeds, worthy of being transmitted to posterity. When a people are insulted by enemies they have long been accustomed to conquer, and their existence as a nation is endangered, it is then too late to enquire, minutely, into the causes which have brought them into this situation.

This book was released on 2010-10-25 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have long understood that books were important to the British army in defining the duties of its officers, regulating tactics, developing the art of war, and recording the history of campaigns and commanders. Now, in this groundbreaking analysis, Ira D. Gruber identifies which among over nine hundred books on war were considered most important by British officers and how those books might have affected the army from one era to another. By examining the preferences of some forty-two officers who served between the War of the Spanish Succession and the French Revolution, Gruber shows that by the middle of the eighteenth century British officers were discriminating in their choices of books on war and, further, that their emerging preference for Continental books affected their understanding of warfare and their conduct of operations in the American Revolution. In their increasing enthusiasm for books on war, Gruber concludes, British officers were laying the foundation for the nineteenth-century professionalization of their nation's officer corps. Gruber's analysis is enhanced with detailed and comprehensive bibliographies and tables.
