About this book
In an era marked by rapid military advancements, "War and the Arme Blanche" by Erskine Childers challenges the prevailing reliance on firearms, advocating for a return to traditional cavalry tactics that emphasize the use of cold steel weapons. This military treatise scrutinizes the effectiveness of the arme blancheâswords and lancesâarguing that the psychological and tactical advantages of cavalry have been overlooked in modern warfare. Ideal for students, military historians, and civic activists, Childersâ work prompts a critical reevaluation of combat strategies and the role of honor in warfare. Engage with this compelling analysis that underscores the importance of historical military practices in shaping contemporary strategies.
