About this book
Changing conditions place new demands on mounted troops in Friedrich von Bernhardi's study of cavalry organization and training. The discussion weighs mounted charges against fighting on foot, with particular attention to reconnaissance, mobility and the decisions expected of officers. Charles Sydney Goldman's preface draws on the South African War to explain why these questions mattered to British readers and why cavalry still had advocates.
The practical arguments reach down to the number and readiness of horses in each squadron. Bernhardi examines how reserve arrangements, young mounts and animals needed for training affect a regiment's strength when war begins. These calculations give the book a concrete focus alongside its broader claims about leadership and strategy. Readers interested in military history can use it to study how officers argued for the place of horse soldiers as the conditions of warfare changed.
