Fortæller om det tunge artilleri og dets udvikling gennem de sidste 100 år.

This examination of Civil War campaigns provides a fascinating study of the impact of the railroad, the field telegraph, the magazine rifle, observation balloons, mines and torpedoes, ironclad warships, and submarines on the strategy of war. The accounts of the battles are preceded by a concise background to the war, explaining causes and summarizing arms, equipment, organization, and tactical aims of both armies. Each chapter contains two profiles of the leading generals. Includes maps and diagrams, and a fine selection of b&w photos & illustrations by war artists. 8" x 12".
