The reader of this book needs a lot of patience to study the present copy of 1798. Although many sites have excellent copy quality, the band also includes pages that are read very poorly and only with some difficulty. Ewald many historical battles and smaller combat operations of several Jahrunderten has collected in his time and eventually always provided an unspoken question at the end: What shows us this military behavior and what can the military leaders learn from this? Seen in its collective work is an early Lessons Learned - Analysis of the late 18th century with partly banal appearing conclusions, but brutally frank and honest. Actually it is this never to the military strategy or operation, but always about military tactics and recommendations for the Royal Danish and Norwegian officers of his time. For military historically interested reader a quite interesting and readable work, but where you have to devote a lot of time.
