Descrizione

lrg 8vo, 304 pages, full index of military formations (Brigade and above), extensively illustrated with period photographs, maps and drawings. ".begins with the historical background, then goes on to describe the major campaigns of the present [20th] century. It was the years immediately prior to the Great War that saw the beginnings of serious consideration of the mountain and Arctic regions as viable arenas of warfare, and the training of forces to deal with them. This development continued through, and played a vital part in, the two World Wars, and is still an important aspect of recent conflicts such as Vietnam and Afghanistan. It figures heavily in the defence of the northern and central borders between NATO and Warsaw Pact countries. Also considered here are the very special techniques and skills that must be acquired and employed by troops if they are to master these hostile environments."
