Sinossi
This comprehensive study explores the landscapes and heritage of past conflicts along with defensive and offensive structures.Throughout history, nature – its resources, landscape and terrain – has shaped the tactics of warfare and determined its outcomes. From the medieval English Fens to the 20th century Iraqi Marsh Arabs, landscapes have fostered resistance and dissension. Harnessed by people under threat the landscape has influenced strategies and tactics.Water and wetland halted campaigns in the Florida Everglades and in the Franco-Prussian War of the late 1800s. In the Second World War the Dutch flooded the drained polders to halt the Nazi advance and in 1938 the Chinese nationalist forces breached the flood-dykes of the Yellow River to halt the Japanese advance.Mountain ranges and deserts have long provided landscapes for resistance fighters. From the former Yugoslavia to Afghanistan these gnarly battlescapes traverse time and space. Libyan fighters held off invading Italian forces by operating from the caves and valleys of the Green Mountains and the Welsh defended their mountainous principalities against the Angevin Normans.The landscapes and heritage of past conflicts, defensive and offensive structures, and much more are brought together in this comprehensive study.

BATTLESCAPESThe Impact of Terrain on War and Military Strategy
Da: Naval and Military Press Ltd, Uckfield, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Condizione: New. Hardback 439 pages Throughout history, nature-its resources, terrain, and landscapes-has shaped the tactics and outcomes of warfare. From the medieval English Fens to the twentieth-century Iraqi Marsh Arabs, wetlands and marginal environments have fostered resistance and dissent. Harnessed by communities under threat, such terrain has repeatedly influenced military strategy. Water and marshland impeded campaigns in the Florida Everglades and during the Franco-Prussian War of the late nineteenth century. In the Second World War, Dutch forces deliberately flooded polders to halt the Nazi advance, while in 1938 Chinese nationalist forces breached the Yellow River dykes to impede Japanese progress.Mountain ranges and deserts have likewise long served as refuges for resistance movements. From the former Yugoslavia to Afghanistan, these complex battlescapes cut across time and geography. Libyan fighters resisted Italian forces from the caves and valleys of the Green Mountains, while the Welsh used mountainous terrain to defend their principalities against the Normans.This comprehensive study brings together landscapes, heritage, and the material traces of both defensive and offensive warfare, offering an integrated perspective on the enduring relationship between environment and conflict.Overseas clients please note: Due to excessively high wrapped weight shipping is weighted on this title.
