With observations gleaned from his service in African campaigns against the Zulus, the Ashanti and the Boers during the period 1876–1910 (and even from conversations with the German Kaiser), Baden-Powell discusses all aspects of military service - from digging trenches to 'inculcating cheerfulness in your men'. His book advocated a training system based on Edwardian values, conventional military thinking, and centuries of army tradition. \u003cem\u003eQuick Training For War\u003c\/em\u003e was essentially a guidebook to the type of war the British expected to fight when war came in 1914. It encapsulated the well-intentioned, no-nonsense advice of a seasoned campaigner - albeit an officer more accustomed to scouting on the South African veldt than struggling through the mud of the Western Front. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"Formatted\"\u003eFull of engaging anecdotes and poignant glimpses of a bygone age, \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQuick Training for War\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique insight into the mindset of the British officer class at the outset of WW1.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn very good condition.
