Beskrivning
Weapons improved rapidly after the Civil War, raising difficult questions about the battle tactics employed by the United States Army. The most fundamental problem was the dominance of the tactical defensive, when defenders protected by fieldworks could deliver deadly fire from rifles and artillery against attackers advancing in close-ordered lines. The vulnerability of these offensive forces as they crossed the so-called ""deadly ground"" in front of defensive positions was even greater with the improvement of armaments after the Civil War.

Recensioner i media

No other study approaches this subject so expertly. - Journal of Southern History; ""Jamieson fills a gap in the tactical history of the U.S.Army from the end of the Civil War through the Spanish-American War. He unfolds how an army spread out on frontier posts, [and] largely preoccupied with warfare against the native peoples, Reconstruction, and daily routine, nevertheless made progress toward a system of tactics to take it into the twentieth century."" - Civil War History
