Synopsis

This is a curated and comprehensive collection of the most important works covering matters related to national security, diplomacy, defense, war, strategy, and tactics. The collection spans centuries of thought and experience, and includes the latest analysis of international threats, both conventional and asymmetric. It also includes riveting first person accounts of historic battles and wars.Some of the books in this Series are reproductions of historical works preserved by some of the leading libraries in the world. As with any reproduction of a historical artifact, some of these books contain missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. We believe these books are essential to this collection and the study of war, and have therefore brought them back into print, despite these imperfections.We hope you enjoy the unmatched breadth and depth of this collection, from the historical to the just-published works.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In presenting this little work to the public, it is necessary that something should be said concerning its inception and preparation, as a reason for its publication, and as an apology for the nun.erous errors and onnissions that will be discovered by the reader. A t,various loan collections exhibited in other cities the need has been felt of a hand-book, enabling visitors not only to view with increased pleasure the works of art, and learn their origin, as one may from a catalogue, but also to have the added enjoyment of studying the development of decorative arts, their processes and proper application. Having strong interest in the success of everything connected with the charity for which the Albany Loan Collection has been made, and feeling that such a hand-book as this would increase the value of the exhibition, Mrs. Howard Townsend, the president, generously decided to publish the work at her own risk, and intrusted its preparation to the author. The various articles have been written and made ready for the public in ten days. It is hoped that this will be sufficient apology for devoting but little space to points that deserve fuller treatment, and for errors overlooked through haste. The author desires to express his obligation to Mr. John B. Thacher for the entire article upon printing, and to the friends who have so kindly assisted in hastening the publication of the work. A lbany, March 5, 1879.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
