This reprinted book tells the story of infantry in the 20th century and its impact on the major conflicts of our time. Its purpose is to provide the reader--whether infantryman or not--with insights on the role that infantry plays in the larger battle. According to a review of On Infantry, Revised Edition, in Foreign Affairs by Eliot A. Cohen, the revised edition deleted some technical material and placed the story of infantry in a wider context of military history. Although more accessible and broader in scope than the original version, the revision stripped most of the diagrams and sketch maps that made infantry's seemingly arcane military detail comprehensible. The first edition did a better job of explaining the significance of technical matters related to infantry.

Lost to the reader who is not a military professional is the true meaning of strategy, operations, tactics and other critical concepts. English's On Infantry, together with his entire series, are important for professionals and non professionals alike. Why? Simply because they explain not just the current theory or philosophy for the subject at hand?they go beyond that. History without context is not very useful. On Infantry creates a context for the Infantry by introducing enough history to show its evolution and create the context necessary to understand the modern Infantry and why it behaves as it does requires reading this book.
