Pages : 448
Book Description
After a disastrous defeat in World War I, Germany¿s military was reduced to a shell from its former imperial-era might and glory. The war had driven home the impact of advances in military technologies¿machine guns, artillery, and tanks, among others. The 1918 defeat and the strictures of the Versailles Treaty actually created and strengthened the will in the new German Reichsheer to learn from unsuccessful operations and, despite all limitations, to turn itself into a professional and forward-thinking force. The treaty had reduced the German army to 100,000 soldiers, divided between infantry and cavalry. Riding into the Twilight comprehensively covers the evolution of the lance-equipped horse soldiers of the 1920s to mixed formations of armored vehicles, bicycles, and mounted troops as the Wehrmacht expanded and went to war. After six years of mounted fighting, a final review in Austria marked the end of the last, largest, and arguably most effective cavalry force in any modern army. Those battered survivors rode into the twilight that had already greeted many other countries¿ mounted soldiers. 456 pages and 575 color and black & white photographs in 8-1/2 x11 format; this volume is a must-have for both military history buffs and those interested in the history of cavalry.

Riding to Arms
Author: Charles Caramello
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 081318231X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Horses and horsemen played central roles in modern European warfare from the Renaissance to the Great War of 1914-1918, not only determining victory in battle, but also affecting the rise and fall of kingdoms and nations. When Shakespeare's Richard III cried, "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!" he attested to the importance of the warhorse in history and embedded the image of the warhorse in the cultural memory of the West. In Riding to Arms: A History of Horsemanship and Mounted Warfare, Charles Caramello examines the evolution of horsemanship—the training of horses and riders—and its relationship to the evolution of mounted warfare over four centuries. He explains how theories of horsemanship, navigating between art and utility, eventually settled on formal manège equitation merged with outdoor hunting equitation as the ideal combination for modern cavalry. He also addresses how the evolution of firepower and the advent of mechanized warfare eventually led to the end of horse cavalry. Riding to Arms tracks the history of horsemanship and cavalry through scores of primary texts ranging from Federico Grisone's Rules of Riding (1550) to Lt.-Colonel E.G. French's Good-Bye to Boot and Saddle (1951). It offers not only a history of horsemen, horse soldiers, and horses, but also a survey of the seminal texts that shaped that history.

Kaspar Hauser
Author: Karl Heyer
Publisher: Temple Lodge Publishing
ISBN: 191577621X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
From his appearance on the streets of Nuremberg in 1828 to his disturbing murder only five years later, the enigmatic story of Kaspar Hauser has stirred feelings of love and admiration in countless people. He has been celebrated as the subject of films and plays, popular books and academic studies, yet even today – almost two hundred years after his death – he continues to arouse opposition and hatred from his detractors, who dismiss him as an opportunist and a fraud. In the first English-language edition of this classic text – the original, comprehensive attempt to illumine the mysterious life of Kaspar Hauser from a spiritual-scientific, anthroposophical perspective – historian Karl Heyer gathers the basic facts of the life and death of the ‘Child of Europe’, exploring his remarkable abilities and character. With impressive clarity, he goes on to study Hauser’s fate in relation to the mission and destiny of Middle Europe, focusing on the roles of the House of Baden and key political actors such as Napoleon and Otto von Bismarck. His original research leads to some shattering conclusions with significant consequences for Europe’s future. Heyer was initially drawn to the subject through a private conversation with Rudolf Steiner. That seed matured forty years later into intensive research and the first publication of this book in German in 1958. ‘For me’, said Heyer, ‘it represented the high point of my writing and a kind of crowning of my life’s work.’
