Strategy Six Pack 5 presents a smart sextet of tactical texts:
A Treatise on Tactics by Francis J. Lippitt
A Tale of the English Civil War by G. A. Henty
Genghis Khan by Jacob Abbott
The Boer War by Arthur Conan Doyle
Morgan's Raid by Basil W. Duke, Orlando B. Willcox & Thomas H. Hines
Garibaldi by Elbert Hubbard
Francis J. Lippitt’s A Treatise on Tactics is a detailed, sophisticated mid-Victorian survey delineating trends in military thinking as relates to the three branches of Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry. Morgan’s Raid by Basil W. Duke, Orlando B. Willcox & Thomas H. Hines – three participants of the famous Civil War skirmish – is a forgotten military classic and includes the raid, capture and escape of Confederate general John Hunt Morgan and his troops, known as Morgan’s Men. Evidently Sherlock Holmes’ creator Arthur Conan Doyle had a lot to say about the Boer War. By the end of hostilities in 1902, his book The Boer War (originally published as The War in South Africa, Its Cause and Conduct) had been published 16 times, with each edition revised by Doyle. The mystery maestro brings the same analytical skills displayed in his fiction to this definitive look at the 1899-1902 conflict.
There is also G. A. Henty’s richly descriptive novel A Tale of the English Civil War, Garibaldi, a biography of the Italian general, and Genghis Khan by Jacob Abbott, a look at the life of the founder and Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.
“A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.” - Baltasar Gracian.

About the Author
Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (22 May 1859 - 7 July 1930) was a British writer and physician, most noted for his fictional stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction.
Basil Wilson Duke (May 28, 1838 - September 16, 1916) was a Confederate general officer during the American Civil War. His most noted service in the war was as second-in-command for his brother-in-law John Hunt Morgan; Duke would later write a popular account of Morgan's most famous raid: 1863's Morgan's Raid.
George Alfred Henty (1832 - 1902) was a prolific English novelist and war correspondent. He is best known for his historical adventure stories that were popular in the late 19th century.
Thomas Henry Hines (October 8, 1838 - January 23, 1898) was a Confederate cavalryman who was known for his spying activities during the last two years of the American Civil War.
Elbert Green Hubbard (June 19, 1856 - May 7, 1915) was an American writer, publisher, artist, and philosopher. Among his many publications were the nine-volume work Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great. He died aboard the Lusitania, when it was sunk by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915.
Francis J. Lippitt (1812-1902) was a lawyer and veteran of the Mexican American War and Colonel and Brigadier General in the American Civil War.
Orlando Bolivar Willcox (April 16, 1823 - May 11, 1907) was an American soldier who served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War.
