Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the enduring principles of war and their application to various campaigns by Major-General W. D. Bird, a distinguished British military strategist. The author illustrates how, despite the ever-changing nature of warfare, certain fundamental tenets remain constant, guiding commanders in their strategic decision-making. The book delves into the relationship between war and diplomacy, emphasizing the delicate interplay between political and military considerations. It examines the factors that determine the size and composition of military forces, including the complex balance between land, sea, and air power. Bird also explores the importance of geography and the influence of technological advancements on warfare. Drawing from historical examples such as the Napoleonic Wars and the two World Wars, the author demonstrates how successful military strategies are often the result of carefully orchestrated planning and coordination. He emphasizes the need for unity of command, clear objectives, and decisive action. This book is not merely a historical account but a thought-provoking analysis of the enduring nature of war. By examining the strategies of the past, Bird provides valuable insights into the challenges and complexities of warfare in the present and future, making this book a valuable resource for military professionals, historians, and anyone interested in the study of strategy and its implications.

This is one of the Cambridge Naval and Military Series that was edited by Sir Julian Corbett. Major-General Sir Wilkinson Dent Bird, KBE, CB, CMG, DSO, ADC (4 May 1869 - 6 January 1943) was an officer of the British Army during the late-19th century and the First World War. After studying at Wellington and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, he took a commission as a second lieutenant in the Queen's Royal Regiment on 22 August 1888. In 1897, he served with the Niger Expedition, where he was mentioned in dispatches and received a brevet promotion to major on 6 June 1897. He served with his regiment in the Second Boer War, where he was present at the Relief of Mafeking and was again mentioned in dispatches, but was severely wounded and returned home in 1900. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO). In 1913 he was transferred to command the 2nd Battalion, Royal Irish Rifles, and promoted to Colonel. He was in command of the battalion at the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, when it was sent to France with 7th Brigade, 3rd Division. He was severely wounded at the First Battle of the Aisne, on 15 September; his leg had to be amputated. In 1918, he took up the post of lieutenant-governor of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, and retired in 1923. It is generally admitted that the law of the struggle for existence and the survival of the fittest forms the foundation of the relationship between all human beings. In the past the collective struggle for existence in its sternest forms seems at first to have taken the form of an intermittent contest carried on principally between tribes, or village and urban communities, in other words, war. Modern wars have been made either for what was believed to be national advantage, or in furtherance or defense of national interests. It follows that, until a League of Nations has been set up whose judgments and decisions will be obeyed throughout the word, nationals, possessing territory of value, and rights or interests worthy of protection, can assure neither unless prepared to use force. Every nation which aspires to independent existence must be prepared to defend in arms, either alone, or in co-operation with others who are also affected, its existence and the vital interests necessary for existence. Political independence and civil liberty are both largely dependent on the possession of sufficiency or armed force.…
