F. N. (Frederic Natusch) Maude

Frederic Natusch Maude (1854–1933) was a British Army officer who became well known as a military writer and historian. Reliable catalog and authority records identify him by the fuller form of his name and place him in the late Victorian and early 20th-century world of military thought.

He wrote on tactics, organization, cavalry, and major campaigns, and his work was serious but accessible enough to travel widely in print. Among the books associated with him are studies of military institutions and campaign history, showing a strong interest in how armies actually functioned in the field.

Because readily available web sources in this search were limited, some finer biographical details are best treated cautiously. What is clear is that he combined a professional soldier’s perspective with a historian’s eye, leaving behind books that still interest readers of military history.
