9781783312771: Elements of Tacticks and Introduction to Military Evolutions for the Infantry 1787

Synopsis

Published in 1787 on the eve of the French Revolution, this manual of infantry 'tacticks' was written by an anonymous senior and celebrated Prussian General. Prussia was the small country lifted to military greatness by the genius of Frederick the Great. As the 18th century ended it was the predominant military power in Europe - little knowing of its coming humiliation at the hands of Napoleon. Translated by Isaac Landmann, a Professor of Fortification and Artillery at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, this book offers an insight into Europe's military thinking at the dawn of the age of Napoleon.

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.
