Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wars of the Century and the Development of Military Science No account of the Nineteenth Century would be complete without a narrative of its wars which are not inferior in interest to any which History records. The campaigns of Napoleon are not only replete with instruction for the military student, but are full of striking dramatic incidents, and from the marvellous personality of the principal actor in them exercise a fascination over the mind of the reader independent of his sympathies. The War of Secession in America touches us nearly both from the science and heroism displayed in it, and from the fact that the two combatants were of the same race and language, while the great War of 1870 must remain far many years the classical example of every branch of the military art.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wars of the Century: And the Development of Military Science No account of the Nineteenth Century would be complete without a narrative of its wars which are not inferior in interest to any which History records. The campaigns of Napoleon are not only replete with instruction for the military student, but are full of striking dramatic incidents, and from the marvellous personality of the principal actor in them exercise a fascination over the mind of the reader independent of his sympathies. The War of Secession in America touches us nearly both from the science and heroism displayed in it, and from the fact that the two combatants were of the same race and language, while the great War of 1870 must remain for many years the classical example of every branch of the military art. It is humiliating to reflect that after so many centuries of civilisation war should still hold so largo a place in the annals of a nation, but although war is the cause of incalculable suffering and the product of passion and folly, yet it gives abundant opportunity for endurance and self-devotion, and is the parent of many of the noblest qualities of man. In the nineteenth century we may at least comfort ourselves with the contemplation of long periods of peace.

Download or read book Elementary Treatise on Military Science and the Art of War Classic Reprint written by Herbert Everett Tutherly and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Treatise on Military Science and the Art of War The following lectures have been prepared as a military science course in the University, to meet the requirements of the "theoretical instruction" prescribed in General Order No. 93, Adjutant's General's Office, series 1893, for institutions of learning receiving the detail of an Army Officer to act as professor of military science and tactics. The lectures have been prepared upon the assumption that students have drilled one year and have become proficient in infantry drill regulations to include battalion movements, and in artillery drill regulations to include the "School of the Cannoneers." These lectures will be bound in three "parts," Part I being intended as a text-book for sophomores, Part II for juniors and Part III for seniors. These books may also be found useful to National Guard Officers, and Noncommissioned Officers, as they constitute a progressive course, leading up from armory drill to battle tactics. Preface to Second Edition. In this edition the three "parts" are hound as one book of 12 chapters for use as a text-book for volunteer troops as well as national guardsmen and military colleges; - it having been suggested by officers who have used the separate "parts" of the first edition, that the twelve lectures, taken together, afford a complete elementary course for those who are hastily preparing for military service, and just what they need to go with "drill regulations." The appendix contains some practical lessons gathered from my recent service with our Army in Cuba. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book War Made New written by Max Boot and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-10-19 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A monumental, groundbreaking work, now in paperback, that shows how technological and strategic revolutions have transformed the battlefield Combining gripping narrative history with wide-ranging analysis, War Made New focuses on four "revolutions" in military affairs and describes how inventions ranging from gunpowder to GPS-guided air strikes have remade the field of battle—and shaped the rise and fall of empires. War Made New begins with the Gunpowder Revolution and explains warfare's evolution from ritualistic, drawn-out engagements to much deadlier events, precipitating the rise of the modern nation-state. He next explores the triumph of steel and steam during the Industrial Revolution, showing how it powered the spread of European colonial empires. Moving into the twentieth century and the Second Industrial Revolution, Boot examines three critical clashes of World War II to illustrate how new technology such as the tank, radio, and airplane ushered in terrifying new forms of warfare and the rise of centralized, and even totalitarian, world powers. Finally, Boot focuses on the Gulf War, the invasion of Afghanistan, and the Iraq War—arguing that even as cutting-edge technologies have made America the greatest military power in world history, advanced communications systems have allowed decentralized, "irregular" forces to become an increasingly significant threat.
Download or read book The New World of Science written by Robert M. Yerkes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New World of Science: Its Development During the War In February, 1919, the editor of the Century New World Series invited Dr. George Ellery Hale to prepare for the series a volume on the war and science. This invitation contained the following suggestions: It is desirable to give, first, a general statement of the ex tent to which the successful prosecution of the war required the mobilization of the resources of the country; second, the manner in which such resources came to the aid of the Govern ment; third, the results gained in the fields of research; and, finally, the effect that the war has had and will have on the promotion of scientific research and the application of science to industry in the future. An account, of course, should be given of the organization and work of the National Research Council and the other agencies 'created by the Government for the handling of scientific phases of the war administration. Dr. Hale, feeling that it was impracticable for him to prepare the entire volume, requested the writer to arrange with scientific authorities for the preparation of various chapters and to act as editor of the volume. It was originally planned to have manuscripts prepared by a few individuals, each of whom should be responsible for the military contributions of a cer tain science or group of sciences. This idea could not be put into effect because of specialization in scientific war service. The final outcome was the splitting of major sections of the book into chapters which deal with the special aspects and contributions of physics, chemistry, geology, and other sciences.

Download or read book The Scientific American War Book written by Albert Allis Hopkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scientific American War Book: The Mechanism and Technique of Warfare This volume is not a history of the great European war, nor will it depict its horrors - there are already too many books on the war - but it does give a succinct account of what war really means, how it is carried on, how men are gotten up to position, fed, bathed, fought, imprisoned, wounded and killed. It describes how forts are built and reduced, how mines are laid and destroyed, how barbed wire entanglements are made and destroyed, how submarines carry on their audacious and successful enterprises. It is like no other book, being very largely from the pens of high army and navy ofiicers whose names cannot be used in many cases owing to departmental orders. This book could never have been compiled except from the files of the scientific american, the foremost authority on Naval and Military affairs in the United States. All matter with trifling exceptions is derived from this source which is therefore a guarantee of reliability in a sea of impossible newspaper misinformation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Strategical Science During the 19th Century Lastly, I account for such readers as do not wear uniform, but who, either owing to their professional duties or from pure love of science, wish to inform themselves more intimately on the most dramatic subject of international inter course - that is to say, on the subject of war. I must tell those readers that I have endeavoured to be perfectly plain. Every not absolutely neces sary term, every technical expression which it was possible to avoid, I have omitted, and presumed no more military knowledge than the fulfilment of lawful military service has made the common property of all educated men.

Download or read book The Marine Corps Way of War written by Anthony Piscitelli and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marine Corps Way of War examines the evolving doctrine, weapons, and capability of the United States Marine Corps during the four decades since our last great conflict in Asia. As author Anthony Piscitelli demonstrates, the USMC has maintained its position as the nation's foremost striking force while shifting its thrust from a reliance upon attrition to a return to maneuver warfare.In Indochina, for example, the Marines not only held territory but engaged in now-legendary confrontational battles at Hue, Khe Sanh. As a percentage of those engaged, the Marines suffered higher casualties than any other branch of the service. In the post-Vietnam assessment, however, the USMC ingrained aspects of Asian warfare as offered by Sun Tzu, and returned to its historical DNA in fighting "small wars" to evolve a superior alternative to the battlefield.The institutionalization of maneuver philosophy began with the Marine Corps' educational system, analyzing the actual battle-space of warfare--be it humanitarian assistance, regular set-piece battles, or irregular guerrilla war--and the role that the leadership cadre of the Marine Corps played in this evolutionary transition from attrition to maneuver. Author Piscatelli explains the evolution by using traditional and first-person accounts by the prime movers of this paradigm shift. This change has sometimes been misportrayed, including by the Congressional Military Reform Caucus, as a disruptive or forced evolution. This is simply not the case, as the analyses by individuals from high-level commanders to junior officers on the ground in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, demonstrate. The ability of the Marines to impact the battlefield--and help achieve our strategic goals--has only increased during the post-Cold War era.Throughout The Marine Corps Way of War: The Evolution of the U.S. Marine Corps from Attrition to Maneuver Warfare in the Post-Vietnam Era, one thing remains clear: the voices of the Marines themselves, in action or through analysis, describing how "the few, the proud" will continue to be America's cutting-edge in the future as we move through the 21st Century. This new work is must-reading for not only every Marine, but for everyone interested in the evolution of the world's finest military force.
