Waves of military technological changes have swept through the Eurasian land mass since the dawn of civilization. Military technological changes decisively shaped geopolitics and the fortunes of states, empires and civilizations. In his book Jimmy Teng claims that to understand the impacts of these military technological changes is in fact to understand the causes behind the following major historical puzzles or important facts: the leading position of the Near East during the dawn of civilization; the splendid achievements of Greece, India and China during the axial era; the classical golden age of India under the Gupta Empire; the Abbasid Golden Age of the Islamic world and the Sung Puzzle of China during the medieval era; and the rise of the West during the early modern and modern era.

Die Erinnerung an den Ersten Weltkrieg wird bis heute maßgeblich durch die langwierigen Stellungskämpfe und Materialschlachten in Frankreich und Belgien bestimmt. Dabei wird jedoch übersehen, dass der Erste Weltkrieg an der Ostfront, auf dem Balkan, im Nahen und Mittleren Osten, in Afrika sowie in seiner Anfangs- und Endphase selbst an der Westfront zum Teil höchst dynamische Züge mit manöverreichen Operationen aufweist. Jenseits der Materialschlachten untersucht das vorliegende Buch daher wo, wie und bis zu welchem Grade der Erste Weltkrieg als Bewegungskrieg geführt werden konnte. Im Zentrum des Erkenntnisinteresses stehen dabei vier Fragen: Unter welchen Bedingungen war im Ersten Weltkrieg eine bewegliche Kriegführung möglich? Welche Wege wurden beschritten, um das Dilemma des Stellungskrieges zu überwinden? Wie weit reichten deren technische und logistische Möglichkeiten und wo lagen deren Grenzen? Schließlich stellt sich die Frage, inwiefern bewegliche Operationsführung den Ersten Weltkrieg entscheiden konnte.

Gettysburg has been one of the U.S. Army's favorite staff ride locations for decades. It was the site of perhaps the pivotal battle of the U.S. Civil War, and General George Pickett's famous but disastrous charge marked the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. The authors of this report combine a staff ride with a consideration of alternative history: They examine what happened in the crucial 1863 Battle of Gettysburg and consider what could have happened if a few key technologies that were available for military use had been used in this battle.
