"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 horse-flesh in war."--_Westminster
Gazette._

"The most valuable work in which, since its close, the war has been

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._
