Description

|
A Canadian military historian and former commander of an armored cavalry regiment, Roman Jarymowycz here traces the evolution of the cavalry as a highly mobile and hard-hitting component of armed forces, portraying its development as a series of creative responses to the changing dynamics of modern warfare. His sweeping narrative covers the ancient world, the Mongol hordes, medieval knights, the Napoleonic era, the Charge of the Light Brigade, the American Civil War, the World Wars, and later 20th-century conflicts. "In this engaging study, Jarymowycz demonstrates that cavalry really is a state of mind. He convincingly links the warhorse of the classical and medieval eras with the cavalry regiments of Desert Storm. A great read full of ideas worth pondering."—Terry Copp
