To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The use of a definite system of tactics distinguishes civilized from savage warfare, and hordes of uncontrolled, unguided sav- ages have rarely been able to overcome the rigid squares and strong tactical lines of well-drilled and well-disciplined troops. Thrilling examples of this kind can be found in the records of our own Indian wars and in the Egyptian and Indian campaigns of our English brothers. Equally brilliant illustrations can be found in the history of the conflicts of the Roman legio...ns and the northern savages nearly twenty centuries ago. The principles of tactics are of a scientific character and have engrossed the attention of many scientific men both civil and military since armies were first organized. The success of an army in war depends more than ever upon the intelligence and professional knowledge of both men and officers. A close study of tactics must be a very essential part of their work. The days of the rough and ready soldier who earned victoiy by his superior ability at hacking and chopping have passed never to return.
