"An excellent compendium of the whole war, clearly written and amply
illustrated by photographs, maps, and diagrams.... It is a narrative
that will fascinate the many who love to read about war-like
movements.... It is a story of wise and patient preparation, carefully
arranged generalship, supreme daring, amazing tenacity. Undoubtedly
the right thing has been done in giving to the world a stiring story,
which has remained too long, many will think, a secret record."--The
Sheffield Independent.

"Here at last, in the English language, we have a really important work
on the German cavalry at first hand."--Broad Arrow.
"General Von Bernhardi most certainly knows what he is talking about,
and is equally at home when discussing matters of the highest import or
others of comparatively trifling details; he displays a sound knowledge
and judgment concerning all things of organization, strategy, tactics,
and training; and moreover, he thoroughly understands horses, so that
he is enabled to offer very valuable service on every subject connected
with them, from training of the remount to the economical use of
horseflesh in war."--Westminster Gazette.

only one of which the judgments are based on a familiarity with the
modern theory of war. The best book that has yet appeared on the South
African War."--The Morning Post.
