Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles and Problems of Imperial Defence I have been induced to write the following pages by some, probably most partial, friends, who have assured me that they would help the study of Imperial defence. It was with considerable hesitation and reluctance that I acceded to such representations, because I. felt that I should have to refer to many topics which could be better dealt with by a sailor. On the other hand, lay the argument that the part our army must play in world warfare was sometimes underrated, and that, though secondary to the navy, its efficiency was still an essential element in the force which secured our safety or existence. Imperial defence, although it cannot be carried out at all without a navy, cannot be accomplished by a navy alone; and, the two services being complementary to one another, it seemed not illogical to endeavour to view them in combination and lay stress on the correlation that exists between them. But that all the armed forces we possess should be regarded as a whole was a view I had long held; and such being my opinion, I had the less difficulty in persuading myself to write. In addition, an even more powerful motive actuated me. A constant examination of the history of past campaigns had impressed on me the value of a habit of examining war, and the preparation for war, from the business point of view.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from War and the Empire: The Principles of Imperial Defence The author would appeal to all who are responsible for the direction of affairs in the British Empire to realise the conditions on which its security rests. Those responsible are not merely the politicians, but the electors who choose them, those who write for the press, those who read the news papers, those who think and talk. The mass of individual views termed Public Opinion is, in the end, the dominant force in government. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Naval Defence The value of the kind of studies embraced in these essays in enabling us to make correct forecasts was set forth in the Preface to the First Edition, so far as sail power, very heavy guns, classification of ships, and the leading principles of Imperial defence were concerned. There was a lament over our failure to study the question of naval tactics seriously, and by the use of the inductive method and a fear was expressed lest such neglect might some day land us in trouble. No war had then occurred to test any of the tactical forecasts made in the last two chapters, and so nothing could be shown in the way of experiment to justify the method pursued in that domain of naval science. But since then the Battle of Yalu has been fought. Clearing the nature of the battle from side issues, we may say that it was a trial of strength between two tactical formations - the "line abreast," which, in the military phrase adopted by Captain Bainbridge-Hoff of the United States Navy, would be "line"; and the "line-ahead," which, in the language of the same authority, would be "column."

Download or read book Tactical Principles and Problems Classic Reprint written by Matthew Elting Hanna and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tactical Principles and Problems This book has been written in the hope that it may help junior officers of the regular service and militia who are beginning the study of tactics. In tactics, as in other sciences, the first steps are the most difficult to make, especially if the student has no instructor, as necessarily must frequently be the case. With this fact uppermost in his mind, the author has endeavored so to present the subjects herein treated that the book may be of special value to the student who is working without assistance. The problems have been restricted to the simpler and more usual operations of small forces of infantry and of cavalry, and of these two arms united. Artillery has not been dealt with because it is believed that the student will make better progress if he becomes familiar with the tactics of infantry and cavalry before undertaking the much more difficult subject of the three arms combined. After the student has mastered this book, he may take up with advantage the study of the many excellent works on the applied tactics of the three arms, most noted of which is Griepenkerl's Letters on Applied Tactics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Command of the Sea: And What It Means to CanadaIt has already become a commonplace to say, [that the Empire is beginning to realize how much the present war has advanced the great question of Imperial Defence. It is also beginning to dawn on the outside public that the cardinal principle involved is that every part of the Empire has an interest in the whole; and that the whole has an interest in each and every part. And there is even some general recognition of the fact that the loss of South Africa would make the problem of defence twice as hard as it is now, and would shake the very foundation of that Imperial security on which we all rely.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
