Autor

Colonel Arthur Lockwood Wagner (1853–1905) was a notable military figure and author in the genre of military science during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His most renowned publication, 'The Campaign of Königgrätz: A Study of the Austro-Prussian Conflict in the Light of the American Civil War' is an insightful analysis of one of the pivotal wars in European history through the comparative lens of his own nation's conflict. An 1875 graduate of West Point, Wagner's military career included service as an assistant instructor in tactics at his Alma Mater and later as the head of the Department of Military Art. His scholarly pursuits yielded a vital contribution to military literature. Wagner's literary style is characterized by meticulous research and a methodic approach to military history, reflecting the analytical acumen of a seasoned military strategist. He had a distinctive ability to distill complex military campaigns into comprehensible narratives, allowing readers to grasp the subtleties of strategic warfare. The pragmatic fusion of historical events with tactical lessons in 'The Campaign of Königgrätz' exemplifies Wagner's scholastic aptitude, making it a historical and pedagogical reference for both contemporaneous and future students of military science (Cloke, 1911; Wagner, A.L., 1891).
