Hardcover. Condizione: Good plus. Small octavo; 152 pages, embossed pubisherls cloth, floral endpapers, toned paper, front hinge cracking. "The average reader shrinks from the task of hunting for crsip facts amid the thickets of theory and comment in the more pretentious volumes, and he turns away hungry for information after sc…anning a mere cartoon of a battle picture. We cannot hope to fill the chasm entirely, but trust that honest effort, supplementing a well-defined purpose, may succeed in throwing a pontoon bridge over it." - Preface. " Completely military, and padded with anecdotes; published under at least three different titles." - Nevins II, 17.
