Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is an accessible guide to the principles and practices of field engineering for both infantry and cavalry. It draws on historical and contemporary examples to provide comprehensive instruction on temporary fortifications, obstacles, and bridge and road construction. Through the exploration of fire, projectiles, and penetration, the author elucidates the importance of cover and protection in battle while also detailing the types of weaponry and their range. The text emphasizes hasty intrenchments, gun pits, and epaulements that can be quickly built on the field and stresses the importance of clearing the ground of obstructions to improve defensive positions. It also discusses advanced topics like mines and fougasses, demonstrating the complexity and sophistication of field engineering. Through its practical applications and theoretical insights, this book offers a deep understanding of an essential aspect of military strategy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
