Facsimile reprint of the 1895 Houghton Mifflin edition of this book. King Gustav of Sweden (1594-1632) has been described as the father of modern warfare in that he established the first conscript army in modern Europe, emphasised officer education, discipline, training, and the combination of firepower and mobility. The book also covers the impact of his approach as demonstrated by subsequent commanders including Oliver Cromwell and the Duke of Marlborough.
