Summary "A General's Letters to His Son on Minor Tactics" by Anonymous is a military instructional book likely written in the early 20th century, during the time of World War I. The book comprises a series of letters from a father, presumably an experienced general, to his son, who is an officer in the military. Its primary focus is on the fundamental principles of minor tactics in warfare, emphasizing the importance of preparation and tactical understanding in military engagements. The letters cover various tactical scenarios that an officer might face on the battlefield, providing practical advice and problems to solve. Through a series of carefully constructed situations, the general imparts wisdom on topics such as fire control, platoon movements, and effective communication within units. Each letter presents scenarios that require strategic thinking and decision-making, illustrating the need for a balance between skill and courage in leadership. The overarching theme highlights the significance of training and understanding tactics to prepare young officers for the challenges of combat, ultimately aiming to ensure they can lead effectively when faced with real-life battlefield situations.
