Flanking Maneuvers

The book traces the evolution of flanking tactics, beginning with classical warfare and moving through the Napoleonic era to today's mechanized assaults. A key argument is that successful flanking requires understanding terrain, enemy psychology, and logistical capabilities—not just brute force. Effective flanking can demoralize enemy forces by creating surprise and disrupting their lines of communication.

Organized thematically and chronologically, the book progresses from defining flanking principles to analyzing case studies of historical battles. It culminates with a discussion of modern applications and challenges, offering valuable insights for military professionals and strategic thinkers alike.
