Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Business of War In the glamour Of battle heroism the world loses sight Of the mechanics of war. It is more thrilling to have an emotion about a forlorn trench hope led to victory than to hear about a supply column that reached the front under a storm of shells. Yet the courage of the teamsters who face death with only the reins in their hands is fit to rank with the valour of the fighting men armed with guns. War has become a business. It is the world's supreme task at this moment. Business as usual has gone into the scrap heap along with many other illusions that clogged effort and begot a costly Optimism in the early days of the conflict. The one definite work of civilization is to win the war. The path to victory is through organization. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The American people and Congress sought advice and counsel from recognized leaders of thought and industry. J.

Download or read book Business Methods and the War Classic Reprint written by Lawrence Robert Dicksee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Business Methods and the War Class conducted in this School during the past seven years shows, no doubt, that military men can improve their efficiency by a study of civilian methods, and the wonderful success with which Transport and Supply have been managed during the present War shows this to be the case. It occurs to me, however, that quite possibly civilians might, with equal advantage, make some study of the soldier's methods of handling business, and, accordingly, in this short course of lectures which I have undertaken, I propose to start by making some comparison of military and civilian methods of business organisation, with a view to seeing whether this new point of view may not suggest some ideas that are well worth following up in the interests of business efficiency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Win the War I like to see so much enthusiasm for a job as you are showing here. You are here to find out what you can do to help win the war. Now, what is it that your chairman wants you to do? That is what I want to talk to you about: what the job is and the necessity for this work. It's the biggest job America ever faced, or is ever likely to face. It is a job so big that none of us has walked around and measured it. We have only got some little views of the mountain that is ahead of us. We are just beginning to understand what it means to go to war in the modern sense and what it means to prepare America for war. We knew we were unprepared. I don't know whether we knew how thoroughly unprepared we were. Our unpreparedness was complete. But when we come to make an inventory of what is necessary; when we come to understand what a gigantic task it is to equip an army; when we come to know something about modern warfare and understand that it is a matter of equipment as much as it is of men; then we begin to see something of the size of this undertaking. We are apt to measure things with the yardstick of the dollar - this money value of things. We have seen this unprepared country go to war and we have applauded the act.

Download or read book Medieval Mercenaries written by William Urban and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle Ages were a turbulent and violent time, when the fate of nations was most often decided on the battlefield, and strength of arms was key to acquiring and maintaining power. Feudal oaths and local militias were more often than not incapable of providing the skilled and disciplined warriors necessary to keep the enemy at bay. It was the mercenary who stepped in to fill the ranks. A mercenary was a professional soldier who took employment with no concern for the morals or cause of the paymaster. But within these confines we discover a surprising array of men, from the lowest-born foot soldier to the wealthiest aristocrat the occasional clergyman, even. What united them all was a willingness, and often the desire, to fight for their supper.In this benchmark work, William Urban explores the vital importance of the mercenary to the medieval power-broker, from the Byzantine Varangian Guard to fifteenth-century soldiers of fortune in the Baltic. Through contemporary chronicles and the most up-to-date scholarship, he presents an in-depth portrait of the mercenary across the Middle Ages.
