This book charts the development of artillery from its earliest origins right up to the 21st century.
Although artillery has often played a pivotal role in a battle, we know very little about its history, the earliest recorded use being nearly a thousand years ago.
Many improvements and modifications have taken place over the years to meet ever changing tactics and weaponry, but it has still held out as a vital part of a battle force.
The author has researched all these developments through the ages to provide a fascinating work on the history of artillery.
