The Peninsula War was notable for several sieges and stormings, most famously those of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz. Both these actions are discussed in this rare and concise book by an officer of the Royal Horse Artillery. May attributes the rapid fall of both fortresses to British artillery tactics, which carefully concentrated on battering a breach in the defences, and the superiority of British iron cannon to their brass equivalents. Illustrated by a plan of attack during an artillery siege, and tables showing the results of test comparisons between brass and iron ordnance.
