In the Sixth Century, The Byzantine Emperor
codified doctrine in a manual called the “Strategikon” . of twelve books
of which Book XI was entitled "Characteristics and Tactics of Various
Peoples. His descriptions included such things as:
"the
Western light-haired peoples are "bold and undaunted in battle. Daring and
impetuous as they are, they consider any timidity and even a short retreat as a
disgrace." These are qualities, as Luttwak points out, that give strength,
but also tactical limitations".
The Strategikon describes
the Persians as a people who obey their rulers out of fear. Its comments on the
hardiness of Russian warriors sound like a description of 20th-century
Russian soldiers. The book goes on to prescribe the strategies and tactics that
worked or did not work against each of these potential enemies.
He
warned against chasing Germans into the woods where the ground favored German
individual skill sets.
