Warfare from Waterloo to Mons 1815-1914

Описание: This volume of ihe History of Warfare covers the period between the end of the Napoleonic wars and the outbreak of the Great (or First World) War. Thus, in a strict interpretation, Waterloo and Mons lie outside its scope. Nevertheless I have included both as prologue and epilogue respectively. In neither have I attempted a comprehensive description. Instead I have given a deliberately one-sided account intended to illustrate the conditions under which land battles were fought at the beginning and end of the period.
