Synopsis

Cavalry in Future Wars argues that mobility, cohesion, and strong leadership can secure decisive early action in modern combat.

Translated to bring this classic work to a wider audience, it presents a soldier’s experience and a clear view of how cavalry can shape the opening stages of war. The text emphasizes that trained, well-led horse and rider teams can deliver effects that influence later campaign phases, and it examines the changing conditions of warfare that affect cavalry operations.

The book analyzes the balance between shock and fire action, the value of rapid reconnaissance, and the strategic role of cavalry in pursuing enemies, disrupting communications, and exploiting mobility. It stresses that success depends on leaders who understand the situation, make quick decisions, and maintain harmony between offensive and defensive actions.

  • How massed cavalry can create decisive early advantages in a future war.
  • Principles of leadership, initiative, and training for cavalry commanders and units.
  • Insights drawn from the Boer War and other modern conflicts about mobility and strategic use of cavalry.
  • Practical considerations for organization, equipment, and the training of horsemen for future operations.

Ideal for readers of military history and strategy, as well as officers and students seeking a foundational perspective on cavalry, mobility, and the art of decisive action.
