Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of fortifications, exploring their historical development and the principles behind their construction. The author guides the reader through the evolution of fortifications from ancient times to the era of gunpowder, showcasing how these defensive structures adapted to the changing face of warfare. From the towering walls of medieval castles to the intricate bastions and ramparts of the bastion system, the book unravels the strategic and architectural nuances of these fortified structures. It examines the key elements of a fort, such as the rampart, parapet, and ditch, and explores the various systems of fortification, including the bastion, polygonal, tenaille, and circular traces. The book goes beyond the mere mechanics of construction to delve into the tactical considerations that underpinned each system, and the principles of active and passive defense. By tracing the historical development of fortifications and analyzing the various systems employed throughout history, this book offers valuable insights into the strategies and innovations that have shaped military architecture.
