About This Book

The work provides a contemporary survey of a major power's military preparations and institutions on the eve of large-scale conflict, examining army, navy and airship forces. It outlines organizational structure and functions—infantry, cavalry, artillery, pioneers, communications and transport—alongside equipment, recruitment and manpower issues. Naval construction, deployment and the rise of modern capital ships are assessed in relation to strategic needs, while aerial reconnaissance and related communication troops receive attention. Descriptive chapters combine technical definitions with numerous illustrations to clarify uniforms, weapons, formations and logistical arrangements.
