<p> The cavalry and its doctrine are misunderstood, and its tactics and operations remain a mystery for many civilians. New technology and the increased integration of the armed forces have created the illusion that the cavalry no longer exists as a distinct military entity and philosophy. Jarymowyez clarifies these misconceptions by offering a comprehensible overview, while explaining military terminology and outlining basic cavalry principles. This well written and timely book concludes by suggesting ways in which the cavalry will continue to evolve in response to contemporary Fourth Generation conflicts, perhaps even reverting to its original, tactical role of close-quarter combat. - <p>Lt. Colonel Robert A. Lynn, Florida Guard
