CAVALRY - ALEXANDER QUERENGÄSSER GEBUNDEN

For millennia  cavalry was the premier combat arm. Horses gave armies mobility and speed  often
cavalry charges  either on the enemy's flanks and into his rear or through his center  led to
the decision in a battle. This book analyzes the use of mounted troops from prehistoric times
to recent conflicts in Europe  Asia  Africa  and the Americas.In contrast to many military
history treatises that seek to identify a decline of cavalry over time in favor of modern
infantry  Alexander Querengässer argues that only modern motor vehicles were able to replace
cavalry.The book examines the many historical uses of cavalry  analyzing conditions for its
employment  the role of geographic and climatic factors in its use  and developments in
equipment and tactics. More than two hundred contemporary illustrations round out the volume.
