Описание: A paperback facsimile of America's first official military guide from one of the fathers of the U.S. Continental Army. This manual--known commonly as the Army "Blue Book"--has been used as an official U.S. Army guide since its first publication over 200 years ago. Published in 1779, this drill manual was written by Inspector General Friedrich Von Steuben as a method of standardizing best rules and practices for the Continental Army in the early days of the American Revolution. Von Steuben, a Prussian military officer, made a name for himself as a lieutenant in the Seven Years' War and later as a personal aide to Frederick the Great. By the mid-1770s, Von Steuben had been discharged from the Prussian army and was in Paris seeking employment. His experience and military acumen earned the attention of Benjamin Franklin--who invited the Prussian officer to volunteer his services on behalf of the American cause. The book contains all of the rules for governing a successful militia, from the correct formation of a company or regiment, to the position of a solider under arms, the treatment of the sick, or the different beats of an army drum. The book that helped America win its independence from Great Britain.
