BOOK REVIEWS The Fundamentals of Military Strategy. By Oliver Prescott Robinson, Lieutenant Colonel, Infantry. Washington: United States Infantry Association. 1928. 5%,"x 8'%,". 232 pp. $3.00. Strategy. By George J. Meyers, Captain, U. S. Navy. Washington: Byron S. Adams. 1928. 5'%,"x 7%,". 263 pp. $3.00. Here are two books on the same suhject written one for the Army and one for the ;\lavy. Fundamentally, the principles of strategy are the same on water as on land. The application may differ, the conditions under which the application is made may not be the same, but sound naval strategy is sound military strategy. Either hook may therefore be used by either service. While both books teach much the same doctrine and quote the same authorities, they differ in their method of attack. Captain Meyer handles the subject from the broader viewpoint and omits, in general, discussion of matter which is generally to he found in accepted authorities. Colonel Robinson, seeking to point out fundamentals, discusses strategy more in detail and makes free use of examples. He takes up each of the principles of war in turn, although he prefers to refer to them as ideas. rather than principles, pointing out that doubt may arise as to whether some of them are in truth principles but that there can he no question of them as ideas. Colonel Robinson's hook will have the greater value for the novice in the realm of strategy, and it is accompanied by an extensive bibliographical list which, although not classified, will be very convenient for the military student. Captain Meyers' book will find merit in the eyes of those who are already somewhat familiar with fundamentals. It supplements the more elementary bOOK,and it has a valuable section of suggested reading courses, classified as to subject and subdivided to show particular chapters or pages of the authorities quoted. Both works are recommended for the military student. Andrew Jackson: An Epic in HOmeSplln. By Gerald W. Johnson. New York:. :\finton, Balch and Company. 1927. 6"x 8". 303 p. 11. $3.50. With the exception of Abraham Lincoln, probably no man who has risen to a high place in American public life owes less to the element of chance or luck than does Andrew Jackson. Born on the wild frontier of an infant nation and reared among the educational disadvantages of the frontier, he rose to power and created for himself a place in history through sheer force of character backed by tremendous natural ability. Direct, determined, forceful, and hypersensitive, handicapped much of the time by ill health, he led a theatrical life in which he generally held the center of the stage. District attorney, Repre. sentative in Congress, Senator, Justice of the State Supreme Court, }fajor General of militia, and Major General in the Regular Army, he seemed unahle to escape from a public career. He had early attracted a large following among the public, but his success over Packenham at New Orleans made him a national idol. It being a custom among Americans to reward their popular heroes with public office, the Battle of Nev.: Orleans assured Jackson the Presidency. Although General Jackson can not he ranked great among generals, the military man can find much of benefit in a study of his career. His methods were even more direct [273J
