Beskrivning

For centuries, mounted cavalry dominated the battlefield through shock and mobility. Cavalry from Hoof to Track traces the evolution of cavalry through the ages, from the warhorse to the tank and helicopter, demonstrating how cavalry’s survival has depended on creative responses to the changing dynamics of modern warfare. The sweeping narrative covers the ancient world, medieval knights, the Napoleonic era, the American Civil War, the world wars, the Cold War, the Gulf War, and more.
