Major General Sir Wilkinson Dent Bird (1869 1943) saw active
service in campaigns from the Niger Campaign in 1897 to the opening
of the First World War, when he served in France. In 1923 he was
appointed head of a committee to analyse wartime experiences and
propose changes intended to modernise the British army. First
published in 1920 and issued in an enlarged second edition in 1925,
this book provides a comprehensive study of military strategy
current at the time of publication, using historical examples to
illustrate key concepts. Bird focuses primarily on land battles,
with a chapter for naval battles and a small section for aerial
combat. Originally intended as a guide to current strategic
thinking, his book provides valuable analyses of historical battles
with insights into the development of British military strategy
after the First World War. This reissue is of the 1925 edition.
