Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Campaign of Liao-Yang: With Maps and Plans The campaign of Liao-yang - that is to say, the period of the great struggle in the Far East between Russia and Japan, which ended with the defeat of the Russians in the first great battle on land between the contending forces - has been selected as illustrating warfare under modern conditions when it is being conducted in a theatre of operations lacking in communications and offering considerable difficulties to the movement and the feeding of great masses of men. It illustrates also in striking fashion the advantages which a belligerent enjoys where adequate preparations have been made for a contest against an unready foe. It further illustrates the perils which are likely to be incurred by a Government which entrusts a soldier with a difficult task, and which then interferes with him as regards the mode in which he proposes to carry out the duty. The war in Manchuria also illustrates the interdependence between maritime and land operations in the case of a campaign where the army of one side has to be transported across the sea to carry out its mission, and where the other side at the same time possesses formidable naval forces; but this volume does not treat of the conflict on the waters except in so far as is necessary to make the narrative intelligible.
