Machinery of War
Folio; First Edition 1973.128 Pgs Including Index With Over 150 Illustrations, Many Of Them In Color; Good Condition, Light Shelf Wear Only. This ambitious volume selects the most decisive moments in man's martial progress from the wooden club to the fire-hardened spear to the profusion of weapons in today's world of conventional and guerrilla wars - the uneasy contests in which political ends are pursued by violent means, even nuclear arsenals. Clarifies and documents a fascinating sequence Ð of archer versus hoplite, of heavy cavalry destroying infantry, of infantry replying with the pike, the advent of gunpowder wars, the developing pattern of siegecraft, the numerous permutations of horse, foot and guns, and the great industrial leaps forward which then created, for example, machine-guns and massive breech-loaders, flamethrowers and tanks
