About
In 1914 this book was essential reading for thousands of soldiers. Written by national hero Sir Robert Baden-Powell, it teaches NCOs and officers how to instill his "four C's" in the troops: courage, common-sense, cunning and cheerfulness.
Quick Training for War covers subjects such as marksmanship, discipline, scouting, "the art of hiding," entrenching and ruses of war. Baden-Powell draws on lessons learned during the Zulu and Boer Wars, and his approach encapsulates the tactical and strategic principles of the time, whilst giving a fascinating insight into the attitudes of the era, when Army officers were expected to be gentlemen and sportsmen.
