Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No jacket as Issued. Reprint of 1785 edition. Drawing on 24-years of military experience, Ewald wrote this influential manual for "the leader of a light corps or a detachment which is composed of cavalry and infantry." Unlike similar such works of the period, Ewald largely uses examples from his experiences as a Hessian jager officer serving with the British Army during the American Revolution. He discusses recruitment, drill, marches, contact with the enemy, selection of outposts, the conduct of officers, the occupation and defense of fortified towns, reconnaissance and patrols, raids, ambushes, and retreats. Of timely significance, Ewald discusses the problems of combating an elusive enemy that can melt into the local population. The book is accompanied by a superb introductory essay and notes by the editors tracing the historical concept of partisan warfare (Kleiner Krieg) and light infantry tactics, and its modern application. Dark green cloth with black labels and bright gilt title. Moderate wear to base of spine. Rear board lightly rubbed. Light foxing to exterior upper and fore-edge pages and endpapers. Contents clean and bright with black and white maps. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall, 178 pp.
