About Battle Studies
Battle Studies is a book by Ardant du Picq, a French colonel, on the cohesion and behaviour of soldiers in battle. The work was never completed, but Du Picq had written many chapters completely and left sufficient notes behind to complete the book. He argued that the central experience of battle was terror and that the core question of tactics was how to have soldier maintain their cohesion and organisation despite that terror.
