Eduard Descoins (1869-1928) was a general in the French army and the author of several books on military history, tactics, and theory. A master of European equitation, while in command of the native cavalry in Algeria, he was nonetheless open-minded enough to realize the benefits which Arab equitation could confer. When the “big tents” no longer supplied a sufficient number of officers to train the native cavalry, he wrote this book as a manual to help native officers train their troops. Although certain European influences are noticeable, Descoins was uncompromising in maintaining Arab equitation as an integral whole, rather than adapting certain of its elements to European equitation.visualizza meno
