For millennia, cavalry was the premier combat arm. Horses gave
armies mobility and speed; often cavalry charges, either on the
enemy's flanks and into his rear or through his center, led to the
decision in a battle. This book analyzes the use of mounted troops
from prehistoric times to recent conflicts in Europe, Asia, Africa,
and the Americas. In contrast to many military history treatises
that seek to identify a decline of cavalry over time in favor of
modern infantry, Alexander Querengasser argues that only modern
motor vehicles were able to replace cavalry. The book examines the
many historical uses of cavalry, analyzing conditions for its
employment, the role of geographic and climatic factors in its use,
and developments in equipment and tactics. More than two hundred
contemporary illustrations round out the volume.
