This translation of Johann Ewald's classic essay, Abhandlung Uber
den kleinen Krieg, published in 1785, describes light infantry
tactics in an era of heavy infantry formations. Robert Selig and
David Skaggs comment on Ewald's treatise on partisan warfare and
its relevance to current military doctrine. They also provide
extensive scholarly notations with the text, explaining people,
places, and events during the Seven Years' War and the American
Revolution, where Ewald had extensive experience as a company
commander in the Hessian Field Jaeger Corps. This first English
translation should be of real interest to historians of American
Revolution and pre-Napoleonic warfare and of special use to
military professionals today in the Army and Marine Corps. Captain
Ewald, eventually a Major General in the Danish Army, describes the
recruiting and training of light infantry troops, and discusses
their use both in the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution
at length. He provides illuminating insights into light infantry
tactics and doctrine.
