Johann Ewald: Jager Commander
New York: Knox Press, 2020.
Paperback.
A biography of Johann Ewald who fought as a soldier in all of the great conflicts of the latter eighteenth century: the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence, and the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. His written works and his diary record his observations of both the people he met and places he encountered throughout these adventures. His observations on the conduct of irregular warfare or petite guerre – like raids and ambushes - is an important record of eighteenth century small-unit tactics and provide a unique insight on the major events of the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
