i mean that comprises the whole genre, really, even the modern military manuals are for idiot boots & their nepo officers

There are interesting cultural differences between the manuals that crop up, though. Like during the Cold War, American manuals for low level officers really emphasized understanding the concepts of combined arms warfare and applying them dynamically to evolving situations, while the Soviet manuals were more like a flowchart - enemy has you out-ranged? Get closer. Enemy has fortified the city? Go around. Stuff like that.
