Items related to Weapons And Tactics
This is a revised edition of Tom Wintringham's original book, first published in 1943, with a supplement by J.N. Blashford-Snell covering post-war developments of the atomic age. Tom Winteringham's ideas (formulated during the Spanish Civil War) for training the Home Guard in streets-fighting and guerilla tactics influenced Orde Wingate and helped shape the army's Battle Schools. In "Weapons and Tactics" this semi-legendary soldier, recommending theory as the soul of practice, provides a popular history of the development of warfare on land, with its alternating phases of armoured and unarmoured dominance. His account of sword, bow, halberd and pike, of arquebus, musket, bombard, cannon and rifle, of phalanx, legion, regiment and division makes an intriguing and logical tale of the development of fighting from Alexander the Great to Montgomery and of the effects of social and scientific advances on war.
