This book proceeds Rommels more famous book "Attacks" by about five years. This is book was intended to be a series of tactical exercise examples. Each tactical example was organized in the same format and was designed more to show procedure, or how to go about doing it, than as an example of a the "correct" procedure. The examples show an aggressiveness which is hard to show outside of the German language. When an order is given, the commander knows it will be obeyed, without him having to look over his shoulder to see that it was being aggressively and intelligently obeyed .
