Cavalry / A Popular Edition of "Cavalry in War and Peace"

A professional study of mounted forces that explains their operational roles—reconnaissance, screening, raids—and how peacetime training and duties prepare them for wartime employment. The author assesses tactics and organisation, criticises regulations that conflict with battlefield realities, and argues for preserving cavalry mobility and an offensive ethos while ensuring close coordination with other arms. The work reviews lessons drawn from recent campaigns, outlines practical guidance for manoeuvres and scouting, and engages with contemporary doctrinal debate about how cavalry should adapt to modern conditions of war.
