Book Description
This reprinted book tells the story of infantry in the 20th century and its impact on the major conflicts of our time. Its purpose is to provide the reader–whether infantryman or not–with insights on the role that infantry plays in the larger battle. According to a review of On Infantry, Revised Edition, in Foreign Affairs by Eliot A. Cohen, the revised edition deleted some technical material and placed the story of infantry in a wider context of military history. Although more accessible and broader in scope than the original version, the revision stripped most of the diagrams and sketch maps that made infantry’s seemingly arcane military detail comprehensible. The first edition did a better job of explaining the significance of technical matters related to infantry.
