Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book by an esteemed Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army details his views on the vital principles of soldiering, then in need of reform. The author firmly believed that only through strict discipline could an effective fighting force be assembled. His belief was borne out in the Civil War, with its disastrous consequences for the US army at the first Battle of Bull Run due to poor discipline. He argues that discipline can only be achieved through constant repetition, such that it becomes an unthinking habit, the basis of an efficient military organization. The author demonstrates how discipline helps soldiers work together in harmony, going so far as to become second nature, and makes the distinction between archaic, draconian enforcement and the form of self-control that leads to strength on the battlefield.
