About the book: The book is structured into three main parts: 1. Composition, Organization and Means of the Infantry: This section details the internal structure of the infantry, its hierarchical organization, as well as the human and material resources at its disposal. 2. Infantry in Offensive Combat: Here, the author explores the tactics and strategies employed by the infantry during offensive operations, highlighting attack and progression techniques on the ground. 3. Infantry in Defensive Combat: This part focuses on the methods of defense adopted by the infantry, including the preparation of defensive positions and responses to enemy assaults. The book was intended for officers and soldiers wishing to deepen their knowledge of infantry operations, both offensive and defensive, reflecting the military doctrines in force at the beginning of the 20th century.
