Summary

** "Cavalry in Future Wars" by Friedrich von Bernhardi is a book that looks closely at how cavalry should change to stay important in wars of the future. The book argues that even with new weapons and ways of fighting, cavalry can still be very useful. It talks about how cavalry needs to move away from old-fashioned charges and learn new jobs like scouting, moving quickly, and using guns well. The author uses what he knows to show why it's necessary to train cavalry differently and change how they're organized so they can still play a vital role on the battlefield. The book starts by explaining the problems cavalry will face because of better weapons and fighting methods, but it also points out how well-trained and organized cavalry can be a big help in modern wars. **

About the Author

Friedrich Adam Julius von Bernhardi was a Prussian general and military historian. He was a best-selling author prior to World War I. A militarist, he is perhaps best known for his bellicose book Deutschland und der Nächste Krieg, printed in 1911. Describing war as a "divine business", he proposed that Germany should pursue an aggressive stance and ignore treaties.
