A special edition of Maude's military history essays
The British military historian and soldier F. N. Maude was highly
qualified to assess and write about the warfare of the 18th and
19th centuries. Maude's writing reflects his understanding of how
the armies of Europe had evolved up to the outbreak of the First
World War. There can be little doubt that his three books on the
great battles of the Napoleonic era-Jena, Ulm and Leipzig-are
extremely useful histories and they remain in print in Leonaur
editions. This book contains several linked essays in which Maude
considers his subject in terms of tactics, logistics, equipment,
training, morale and the performance of troops both on campaign and
during battles. As well as the subject defined by the title of this
book he gives particular attention to the refinement and
performance of Prussian cavalry under von Seydlitz, the tactics of
Napoleon's forces and the activities of Wellington's Peninsular
Army. This special Leonaur edition enhances Maude's text by
including relevant illustrations for the first time; these make
this edition unique and explain why the book's original title,
'Cavalry Versus Infantry, ' has been slightly modified to
differentiate it from editions without illustrations. A useful
addition to the libraries of military history students of the
period.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
