THE OPERATIONS OF THE GERMAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, FROM SEDAN TO THE END OF THE WAR OF 1870-1. With Large Official Map. From the Journals of the Head-quarters Staff, by Major Wm. Blume. Translated by E. M. Jones, Major 20th Foot, late Professor of Military History, Sandhurst. Demy 8vo. Price 9s.
“The book is of absolute necessity to the military student.... The work is one of high merit.”—United Service Gazette.
“The work of translation has been well done. In notes, prefaces, and introductions, much additional information has been given.”—Athenæum.
“The work of Major von Blume in its English dress forms the most valuable addition to our stock of works upon the war that our press has put forth. Major Blume writes with a clear conciseness much wanting in many of his country’s historians. Our space forbids our doing more than commending it earnestly as the most authentic and instructive narrative of the second section of the war that has yet appeared.”—Saturday Review.
THE OPERATIONS OF THE SOUTH ARMY IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, 1871. Compiled from the Official War Documents of the Head-quarters of the Southern Army. By Count Hermann Von Wartensleben, Colonel in the Prussian General Staff. Translated by Colonel C. H. Von Wright. Demy 8vo, with Maps. Uniform with the above. Price 6s.
HASTY INTRENCHMENTS. By Colonel A. Brialmont. Translated by Lieutenant Charles A. Empson, R.A. Demy 8vo. Nine Plates. Price 6s.
“A valuable contribution to military literature.”—Athenæum.
“In seven short chapters it gives plain directions for forming shelter-trenches, with the best method of carrying the necessary tools, and it offers practical illustrations of the use of hasty intrenchments on the field of battle.”—United Service Magazine.
“It supplies that which our own textbooks give but imperfectly, viz., hints as to how a position can best be strengthened by means ... of such extemporised intrenchments and batteries as can be thrown up by infantry in the space of four or five hours ... deserves to become a standard military work.”—Standard.
