Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on field artillery, dividing its study between the trajectory, weaponry, and tactics of the subject. Its contents are largely based on the work of Prussian artillery officer, Taubert, who wrote the original text in 1856. The book is significant because it reveals the state of artillery in the mid-19th century as it shifted dramatically from its historical role and towards modern forms of warfare. Wars of the era inspired changes in artillery weaponry and organization that forced the arm to abandon the use of light guns and howitzers in favor of more numerous heavy guns. This shift in weaponry necessitated a new approach to tactics and organization, and fundamentally changed the role of artillery on the battlefield.
