4.0 out of 5 stars Confusing, occasionally useful original source, March 5, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics: For the Exercise and Maneuvers of Troops When Acting As Light Infantry or Riflemen (The West Point Military Library) (Hardcover)
Hardee's Tactics was a training manual reputedly widely used during the Civil War. It's very helpful for the historian in discussing the duties of NCO's and the composition of the company in formation. It rapidly becomes completely incomprehensible when describing maneuvers and weapons handling. I can only imagine that whoever actually used this started with a good visual picture of what Hardee was talking about. There are contemporary anecdotes about inexperienced officers getting themselves in trouble with this book (e.g. the "Piroute, piroute!" scene I've read in some memoir or other) and one can certainly see why.
