'The Bicycle in Wartime' is a landmark work in the field of military history. Complemented throughout with an extensive collection of archival photographs, maps and early book, newspaper and magazine illustrations, this new edition has been revised to include new text and photographs and additional material on 21st century military technology.

Many military minds dismissed it as irrelevant to warfare, while others adopted it to great effect against their enemies.
