Price range: £6.99 through £9.99
A rare English translation (1761) of a French treatise on fortification when such French tactics dominated European warfare.
Description
This 1761 translation of a French treatise on fortifications was written by French experts at a time when even their British opponents recognised them as masters of the science. With contributions from such French military geniuses as the legendary Marshal Saxe, and illustrated by a complex endpaper on the construction of a redoubt, this is a valuable addition to the study of 18th Century warfare.
