Some very interesting information, not found elsewhere. A readable history with just sufficient technical information to interest those with some knowledge of the subject. Explanations are frequently provided for terminology used.
Colonel Rogers has traced the entire history of artillery, its use in sieges in the field and at sea; its value in defence and attack; and its many variations, such as rockets and tanks. He describes the manufacture of field pieces, their limbers, their ammunition and carts and furniture, and the many other accessories that, until the invention of aircraft made the artillery an army's most powerful arm. Illustrated with diagrams, drawings and photographs, will delight both artillery enthusiasts and the general reader. It is written with a great deal of technical knowledge blended with a wealth of historical detail.
