The kind reception accorded his translation of Volume I of Tactics here and abroad, and many urgent requests received from brother officers for a similar book on cavalry and artillery, prompted the translator to undertake the transation of Volume IL This is an epitome of the interpretation and application of tactical principles in the cavalry, field and heavy artillery of the various armies, discussed in the light of tactical views and methods prevailing in Germany, and amplified by niunerous examples from military history. The authors views differ in many respects from those generally accepted in our service, but that very fact tends to enhance the value of his work, for it enables the student to see things from a different angle and stimulates reflection. The translators aim has been to reproduce, in English, as faithfully as possible, the ideas of the author. If he has been moderately successful in this, and has helped his brother officers to get a deeper and broader conception of tactics, he will feel amply repaid for his work.

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.
