Men On Horseback is a historical and political book written by Samuel Hay Kauffmann and first published in 1902. The book is a comprehensive study of the role of cavalry in European warfare from the 16th to the 19th century. It covers the evolution of cavalry tactics and strategies, the various types of cavalry units, and the impact of cavalry on military campaigns and battles.Kauffmann examines the role of cavalry in the major European conflicts of the period, including the Thirty Years’ War, the English Civil War, and the Napoleonic Wars. He also explores the social and cultural significance of cavalry, including the impact of the horse on military culture and the role of cavalry in aristocratic society.The book is divided into six sections, each covering a different aspect of cavalry history. The first section provides an overview of the development of cavalry tactics and strategies, while the second and third sections examine the different types of cavalry units and their roles in battle. The fourth section focuses on the impact of cavalry on military campaigns, while the fifth section explores the social and cultural significance of cavalry.The final section of the book provides a detailed analysis of the Napoleonic Wars, with a particular focus on the role of cavalry in these conflicts. Kauffmann argues that the success of Napoleon’s cavalry was a key factor in his military victories, and that the decline of cavalry in the later 19th century was a major factor in the decline of European military power.Overall, Men On Horseback is a fascinating and informative book that provides a comprehensive overview of the role of cavalry in European warfare. It is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, and is a valuable resource for scholars and students of military studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
