His book is really a plea for a greater role for the cavalry and a lament for what he calls 'sins of omission' ie cavalry operations which could have been undertaken but which were not owing to insufficient numbers being available. ( He points out that the Japanese were about to double the size of their cavalry to eight divisions). He was not to know, of course, that within a decade of his book's publication the Great War with its mechanisation would make the age-old arm of the cavalry utterly obsolete. Even so, this book is a fascinating period piece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gustav Wrangel Austrian Cavalry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845748247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845748241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Naval \u0026amp; Military Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.24d","brand":"Gustav Wrangel Austrian Cavalry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440059166975,"sku":"9781845748241","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2819a37-3e9b-4a88-b78a-e9a6493321e7.jpg?v=1777180225","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cavalry-in-the-russo-japanese-warlessons-gustav-wrangel-austrian-cavalry-9781845748241","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
