Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Military Geography: Lectures in the Department of Military Art, Delivered Before the Class of Officers at the U. S. Infantry and Calvary School, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, 1893-1895
Hen one nation finds itself at war with another, 'its statesmen are at once confronted with the problem of so shaping the conduct of the war as to gain the greatest possible advantages from existing conditions; to encounter the forces of the enemy un de such circumstances as to gain the greatest probability of success, to reap the greatest results from victory, and suffer the least from defeat; and, in brief, so to conduct the war as to lead to an honorable peace with the least outlay of blood and treasure, and to relieve their own people, as much as possible, from the burden of misery inseparable from the state of war.
