Editor's Note
CONVENTIONAL wisdom holds that one of the salient developments in twentieth-century military history was the final disappearance of horse cavalry from the order of battle of Western armies. Gervase Phillips, in a comprehensive historiographical survey of the subject, seeks to document the extent to which the cavalry has been made the twentieth-century Western military's \"scapegoat arm,\" and its supposedly reactionary leaders-one thinks here of Sir Douglas Haig-blamed for the long casualty lists of the First World War and the slow progress toward mechanization in the interwar years. Stephen Badsey sets out to rescue British cavalry leaders from the charge that they were still dreaming of Waterloo during the 1899-1902 Second Boer War and were forced to adopt the dismounted tactics of their Boer enemies in a desperate attempt to catch up.
