Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Problems in Applied Tactics: With Solutions
I am certain the intelligent reader will have no difficulty in finding for himself the reasons for any of the measures adopted which are not explained in the text. I wish to repudiate the widespread fallacy, which is often alleged as an excuse for careless work, that Tactical arrange ments are merely matters of individual opinion or caprice. This idea results in two practical evils: (1) Candidates have not the necessary esteem for their drill books which the latter doubtless deserve, as they contain the views of the most com petent authorities, not only of their own country, but of every nation that has secured a military reputation. (2) Candidates are inclined to think that unless they happen to hit upon the examiner's view, there is no chance of scoring high marks.
