A HISTORY OF CAVALRY
By George T. Denison
Translated by G.F. Nafziger
This study covers cavalry actions, weapons, and tactics from Biblical times to the Franco-Prussian War. Over one hundred battles are discussed and the use of cavalry in them is the focus. It talks about the strengths and weaknesses of cavalry at various times; how it fought; and why it was victorious.
This is a general work, written in 1890, of the Foreign Legion's organization and history before the Franco-Prussian War. It is the only account I've ever seen of the Carlist War in Spain, in which the Foreign Legion played a major part. It also discusses the Foreign Legion in Algeria as well as providing vigniettes of individual legionnaires and short biographies of several of its early commanders.
This work covers a the French and other Europeans who went to India, joined the armies of the various Rajahs and fought against other Indian armies and the British. The accounts of the battles are detailed and limited orders of battle are provided. This is an incredibly interesting and very obscure subject. It is a must for anyone interested in the wars that preceded the English conquest of India.
This work was prepared by the British Government in India and the authors had access to the various official documents from Wellington's campaigns, including the East India Company. It is an excellent work discussing the British operations in India and those that set Wellington on his path to Waterloo.
Givanni Finati was drafted into the Army of Kingdom of Northern Italy, deserted while serving in Croatia, fled to Albania, boarded a Turkish ship to Egypt, found himself short of cash and joined the Egyptian Army under Mehemed Ali. He then served in Mehemed Ali's campaign against the Wahabbis in the Arabian Peninsula. This is his narrative of his adventures and travels. It is a particularly rare firsthand account of the Egyptian campaign against the Wahabbis, the same guys who flew the aircraft into the Twin Towers on 9/11. This work was originally published in 1880.
After Mehemed Ali sent an army to conquer the Wahabbis in the Arabian Peninsula, he sent another expedition south into Sudan. This is a first-hand account of that expedition, and the author's subsequent travels in Egypt. This work was originally published in 1823.
The Greeks had fallen under Ottoman domination with the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and suffered under the Muslim yoke for nearly 400 years before they rose up and threw it off. This is an account of their 12 year struggle for freedom.
In 1822 the Spanish Army mutinied, set up a junta, re-established the Constitution that had been written during the Napoleonic invasion of Spain, and overthrew King Fernando VII. The Bourbon king of France came to the defense of his cousin, the Bourbon king of Spain and sent an army to re-establish him on his throne. The work is a very detailed account of every action, battle, siege and maneuver in this war. The author is the older brother of Victor Hugo. Translated from the French, this work was originially published in 1825. This work is a very detailed account of the war based on reports sent to the Miltiary Department of the Department of India. Many lists of casualties by regiment and orders of battle. Poland was wiped off the map of Europe in 1794 and divided between Russia, Prussia and Austria. Napoleon rebuilt it briefly in 1809 in the form of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, but that dissappeared in 1814. The Russians attempted to integrate the Poles into the Russian Empire, but the Poles longed for their independence. Foolishly, the Russians built part of their army from ethnic Poles and left them in Poland. This part of the Russian Army rose in rebellion and for two years fought against the Russians, seeking to re-establish Poland as an independent nation once again. The uprising was crushed and though there would be further such revolutions, Poland would not become truly independent until 1919. This is a detailed account that is focused on the innumerable battles. Unfortunately, though there are 30+ maps the source document was of low quality and they were not what one might desire.
Mehemed Ali was the Pasha of Egypt. He had commanded the Ottoman Army that attempted to suppress the Greek Revolution and whose fleet was defeated at Navarino. When the Porte renigged on its promises for his support in that operation, he took matters in his own hands and marched on Syria. For such an obscure war, this is an amazingly detailed work. The account of the attack on Acre is the most detailed account of the storming of a fortress I have ever read. If you're interested in the military history of the Ottoman Empire this book is a must. If you're interested in the obscure, again this work is a must. This work was originally published in 1837. In 1833 a civil war erupted in Portugal over the succession to the Portuguese throne. This war found itself the playground for the major European powers who sent proxies to fight for both sides. It is an unusal work about an unknown war.
The conquest of Algeria was easy, but holding it became a nightmare. Politicans cut the budget and withdrew troops before Algeria was under control. A religious zealot arose and rallied the tribes. French columns marched around, attacked by thousands of Arab horsemen, who outnumbered them by 10 to 1. Though they survived the battles, they died by the score from poor logistics and political decisions that gave them orders that were impossible to complete in light of the resources at hand. Two sieges, one of which was a horrendous failure. Numerous battles. Orders of battle for the French forces and several columns are included.
This is a detailed account of the disastrous British invasion of Afghanistan. It was orignially published in 1879.
This is the best general work on British operations on the Northwest Frontier frmo 1847 to 1908. Orders of battle abound. The accounts are short, but crisp and detailed. Believe me when I say this is the basic book everyone who is interested in the NW Frontier needs for the foundation of their library.
Originally published in 1851, this work contains lots of regimental details, identifying their activities in various actions. Excellent work with exceptional detail. The final of two wars in Burma that resulted in the subjugation of Burma by England.
Using Chinese sources, this western author has explored the Opium War's military operations from the Chinese perspective. In 1833 a civil war erupted in Portugal over the succession to the Portuguese throne. This war found itself the playground for the major European powers who sent proxies to fight for both sides. It is an unusal work about an unknown war.
This is a detailed account of the disastrous British invasion of Afghanistan. It was orignially published in 1879.
An interesting combination of miltiary action and the philosophy of the Taepings, this work is a contemporary account by an eyewitness. Originally published in 1862. The final of two wars in Burma that resulted in the subjugation of Burma by England.
This work contains three separate accounts: 1.) an aononymouus account of the battle of Inkerman written by a Russian that then passed through German into English, and whose author is unknown, 2.) Captain G.B. McCelland's (later General) report to the US Secretary of War of his observatiosn as a military attachee present in the war, and 3.) the New York Times account of the Battle of Inkerman.
This is about as obscure as you get. This campaign occurred in the Trans-Caucaus as the Turks attempted to stress the Russians by launching a campaign elsewhere that would force them to divide their forces. This is a contemporary study and it describes, in great detail, the utter disaster that occurred.
This is a very detailed military study of the liberation of Italy from the oppressive rule of the Austrians. Orders of battle for several battles have been added to the original work. The work was originally published in 1907.

This is a very detailed military study of the liberation of Italy from the oppressive rule of the Austrians. Orders of battle for several battles have been added to the original work. The work was originally published in 1907. In 1859 the Spanish invaded the Moroccan shores across from Gibraltar in a bit to build a North African colony. This account is by a newspaper reporter who witnessed the campaign first hand and is presented as a series of daily reports on the events he saw. Originally published in 1860. In 1860 a combined force of English and British landed in China and after fighting several battles, fought their way to Peking. This book was originially published in 1890 by a participant in the campaign.
Originally published in 1891, this is an account of how Gordon won his reputation, before he went to Khartoum and lost it.
Originally published in 1891, this is an account of how Gordon won his reputation, before he went to Khartoum and lost it. Originally entited "Bush Warfare" this work covers an obscure colonial war in very great detail.
This work examines the environment that the French faces in Mexico during their invasion. There is some discussion of tactics and tactical organization. Much discussion of logistical issues.
The French army was returning from its 1860 campaign in China and, having nothing better to do, decided to conquer Cochin-China, otherwise known as Vietnam. There had been issues earlier, a disastrous French operation against Hue and an ongoing siege of Saigon, but why waste an unemployed army? A mixed force of French line infantry, naval landing parties, naval infantry, and Spanish, including Filipino auxiliary cavalry, set about to conquer a new colony. A complete French order of battle, including all officers, is provided.
The original work has been expanded with numerous orders of battles and maps of battles. It is an account of the Austro-Prussian War of 1866.
This is the real history of the campaign covered the famous Flashman series. The work contains details of the engagements and provides a complete British order of battle.
A very detailed account of the Franco-Prussian War that has been greatly expanded with illustrations and maps from other sources and numerous, highly detailed orders of battle.
This volume, and the second, are very detailed discussions of the British operations in Africa in the 19th century. Each campaign discussion contains details on organization of the forces involved. The maps are perfect for wargame scenerios. This work was written by a French soldier using entirely sources, not French or other works. It was originally pulbished in 1896.
This continues in the same manner as Vol 1.
In 1877 the Russo-Turkish War was fought not only in Bulgaria and Rumania, but in Armenia as well. This is a first hand account by an English correspondant who accompanied the Turks during this campaign. The work was originally published in 1878.
In 1877, after the massacre of Bulgarian peasants by Turkis irregular troops, the Russians marched on the Ottoman Empire. Sometimes known as the "Kitchen War" this campaign boiled down to one massive siege and battle at the fortress of Plevna. This work provides a very detailed account of both the campaign and the battle of Plevna. Originally published in 1903.
Colonel Warburton spent his military career working on the Northwest Frontier. His work provides an incredible insight into the life on the frontier, the Afghan people, and, of course, military operations.
As the Ottoman Empire broke up the boundaries of the newly forming Serbia and Bulgaria were disputed by those two newly founded nations. The Serbes launched an aggressive, but inept operation against the heavily outnumbered Bulgarians. Despite that the Bulgarians won a brilliant victory and the war.
This work discusses (and has chapters on) mountain warfare, forest warfare, defensive warfare, minor operations, convoys, mountain artillery, cavalry & mounted artillery, engineers & pioneers, commissariat, transport, medical, signaling, and the Political Department. Each chapter is illustrated with historical examples of battles and operations.
Originally published in 1898. This is a first hand account of the last British operations in Afghanistan. It is a highly detailed military account, written by a military officer.
Surrounded by Afghans, the English sent a relief column to rescue the garrison of Chitral in 1895.
An interesting work on a very obscure work published in 1901. This is a first hand account by the man who later founded the Boy Scouts. It's a very intersting account of an absolutely obscure little war.
Originalaly published in 1899. This is a very detailed military account of the British conquest of the Sudan as it fought the Fuzzie-Wuzzies, the only group who ever broken the vaunted British square.
During the Boer War the British frequently found themselves surrounded and cut off by the Boer guerillas. This is the account of the breaking of one such siege.
The author of this work personally traveled to the theater of war and watched the war unfold from the ranks of the Russians. It is a most interesting first hand account of the war by a jouranlist who not only addresses the war, but the part of the world in which the war was fought.
Count Wrangel examins individual cavalry actions as well as the nature of cavalry warfare in the early 20th century.
