» Feature Writer Daniel Workman - Power of reconnaissance & night vision

Excellent article. Shows that in addition to the quality of troops and their preparation, the British used the number one commandment of war: know your enemy. About 2,500 years ago a Chinese "defense analyst" Sun Tzu wrote in The Art of War "If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."

The British advantages in terms of reconnaissance and night vision rangs some bells from one of my recent articles.
