Praxis Tacticum: The Art, Science and Practice of Military Tactics (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Praxis Tacticum: The Art, Science and Practice of Military Tactics (en Inglés)"
Pundits have long predicted the end of conventional warfare but for the foreseeable future, it is here to stay. Counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, peace enforcement, policing. All these forms, like conventional warfare, are as old as mankind. Modern militaries claim to be professional bodies, responsible for the education, control and discipline of their members. But at least one aspect of this claim is poorly executed: tactics are not taught to junior leaders, which is why this guide is essential reading for all junior leaders, officers and NCOs alike.There is a military adage that there is no teacher like the enemy. True; but the wise commander prepares to meet that enemy and become their teacher instead. This is your essential study guide.Praise for Praxis Tacticum"Praxis Tacticum" will help young leaders learn and master modern combat team tactics...It's a fascinating series of intellectual and practical exercises which will help those leading fast moving and hard-hitting troops in combat, a unique blend of both the science and art of war.Lieutenant-General (ret'd) The Hon.
