Artillery in the Great War

* Incisive new study of artillery tactics throughout the Great War * Compares artillery tactics of the principal belligerent nations - Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Ital, Turkey, the United States * Detailed reconstructions of the role of artillery in key battles including Le Cateau, the Somme, Valenciennes. Artillery was the decisive weapon of the Great War - it dominated the battlefields. Yet the history of artillery during the conflict has been neglected, and its impact on the fighting is inadequately understood. Paul Strong and Sanders Marble, in this important and highly readable study, seek to balance the account. Their work shows that artillery was central to the tactics of the belligerent nations throughout the long course of the conflict, in attack and in defence. They describe, in vivid detail, how in theory and practice the use of artillery developed in different ways among the opposing armies, and they reveal how artillerymen on all sides coped with the extraordinary challenges that confronted them on the battlefield.
