Cavalry and Tanks in Future Wars - Softcover

CAVALRY, TANKS AND FUTURE WARS is a collection of articles and one operations report written by George S. Patton, Jr. in the years 1917 to 1922. The first article was written while Patton was posted along the Mexican Border in pursuit of Pancho Villa. The second is the operations report of Patton’s tank brigade in 1918 France. The rest are prescient reflections on the nature of future wars based on Patton’s experiences in Mexico and France. Patton lays out a strong case for why the Great War fought in Europe was more an aberration than the new normal in combat.
