Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the use of field fortifications in warfare. Drawing on historical examples and military theory, the author explores the principles of defensive organization, the construction of simple rifle trenches, and the strategic deployment of artillery. The text emphasizes the critical role that field fortifications played in shaping the tactics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author argues that while fortifications are a defensive tool, they should never be used to stifle a commander's offensive spirit. He stresses that effective field fortifications are a critical component of offensive maneuver and are not merely a defensive tactic. By highlighting the interplay between offensive and defensive strategies, the author offers insights into the tactical and strategic considerations that shaped battlefield organization during a period of rapid technological change. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between warfare and military engineering in the pre-World War I era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Johann Gottlieb Tielke (July 1731 - November 1787) was an army officer and an internationally recognized military writer. In 1756 he became a prisoner of war with the entire army in Prussia. Because of his small stature, he succeeded in escaping, disguised as a milkmaid. He went to Warsaw, where he could present to the military commander cartographic military information based upon his prison-of-war experiences. In 1760 he was a participant in the Battle of Torgau. He was lightly wounded and his horse was killed. The Prince of Saxony's intercession led to Tielke's promotion to Souslieutenant (second lieutenant). In 1761 he belonged to the army of Prince Albrecht of Saxony. In 1762 Tielke's unit was stationed in Silesia. After the Seven Years' War, the Saxon troops were redeployed. Tielke was promoted to Premierlieutenant and then Stabscapitän. During the War of the Bavarian Succession, he commanded an artillery battery as Compagniechef. During the remainder of his career, he was garrisoned mainly at Freiberg. Growing up in poverty, Tielke had not received any academic training, and yet he became a world-class expert on military fortifications, intelligence, artillery, tactics, and strategy. On these subjects he published several treatises, which were republished numerous times and translated into English and French. His writings were acknowledged in other German principalities and by Frederick the Great of Prussia. CONDITION REPORT: VERY GOOD Exterior and binding: Square spines, firm hinges and joints, bumping to a few corners, tight pages. Top edges darkened, per usual. Some areas of skinning to boards, soiling, lightly rubbed extremities. Presents beautifully on the shelf. Interior: Pages are generally clean and white with some areas of minor text block oxidization and a scattered spot on occasion. Grubbiness to endpapers and toning. Former owner bookplate of "Pat Murray" on front pastedown of each volume. Foxing to prelims and blanks; some light to scattered clusters of foxing on plates. Light signs of handling - some bent page corners, a few small margin tears, a few smudges. Leaf 25-26 in Volume I with a penny-sized area of paper loss to bottom margin from insect predation, not affecting text. Offsetting from plates. All in all, a VERY GOOD copy of a scarce and important work on war engineering strategy and tactics in the field of battle.
