1908 Hamley Operations of War Military Strategy Book Kiggell Folding Maps
An original 1908 reprint of the Sixth Edition of The Operations of War Explained and Illustrated by General Sir Edward Bruce Hamley, revised and brought up to contemporary requirements by Colonel L. E. Kiggell.
Published by William Blackwood & Sons, Edinburgh and London.
A substantial early 20th-century British military strategy work, originally developed from Hamley's teaching at the Staff College and subsequently revised by Kiggell.
This example retains its particularly desirable rear map pocket and six loose folding campaign maps, covering various military campaigns and theatres of operation. Further maps and diagrams are contained throughout the main text.
The preface records the Sixth Edition as July 1907 and this reprint as October 1908.
An interesting original military reference work with considerable period character, particularly appealing to collectors of British Army history, military strategy, Staff College material and pre-WWI military books.
