It is hard to argue with the notion that technological change has become key within military history. From the 19th century's railroads and rifles to modern systems of information management and smart weaponry, technology continues to change the face of battle. However, questions remain. Is technology a master or servant? Are there limits to its use-fulness? Does it alter the nature of war, or is war based on timeless, unchanging principles? These are a few of the themes to be explored in this new series. For centuries, mounted cavalry dominated the battlefield through shock and mobility. Man maintained a symbiotic relationship with the horse, which became particularly sacrosanct on the battlefield and even created a new, exalted social class. These mounted warriors sought to preserve their prestige despite the advent of new technologies threatening to render them obsolete. In "Cavalry from Hoof to Track", Jarymowycz traces the evolution of the cavalry from the warhorse to the armored tank and demonstrates how its survival is a history of determined and creative responses to the changing dynamics of modern warfare.
