Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the use of field fortifications in warfare. Drawing on historical examples and military theory, the author explores the principles of defensive organization, the construction of simple rifle trenches, and the strategic deployment of artillery. The text emphasizes the critical role that field fortifications played in shaping the tactics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author argues that while fortifications are a defensive tool, they should never be used to stifle a commander's offensive spirit. He stresses that effective field fortifications are a critical component of offensive maneuver and are not merely a defensive tactic. By highlighting the interplay between offensive and defensive strategies, the author offers insights into the tactical and strategic considerations that shaped battlefield organization during a period of rapid technological change. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between warfare and military engineering in the pre-World War I era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Johann Gottlieb Tielke (July 1731 - November 1787) was an army officer and an internationally recognized military writer. In 1756 he became a prisoner of war with the entire army in Prussia. Because of his small stature, he succeeded in escaping, disguised as a milkmaid. He went to Warsaw, where he could present to the military commander cartographic military information based upon his prison-of-war experiences. In 1760 he was a participant in the Battle of Torgau. He was lightly wounded and his horse was killed. The Prince of Saxony's intercession led to Tielke's promotion to Souslieutenant (second lieutenant). In 1761 he belonged to the army of Prince Albrecht of Saxony. In 1762 Tielke's unit was stationed in Silesia. After the Seven Years' War, the Saxon troops were redeployed. Tielke was promoted to Premierlieutenant and then Stabscapit n. During the War of the Bavarian Succession, he commanded an artillery battery as Compagniechef. During the remainder of his career, he was garrisoned mainly at Freiberg. Growing up in poverty, Tielke had not received any academic training, and yet he became a world-class expert on military fortifications, intelligence, artillery, tactics, and strategy. On these subjects he published several treatises, which were republished numerous times and translated into English and French. His writings were acknowledged in other German principalities and by Frederick the Great of Prussia.
