Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book collects insights from the author's decade-long study into the conduct of mines and countermines in wartime sieges. During this era, Vauban, one of the era's preeminent military minds, revolutionized this form of warfare leading to renewed interest in the subject. Here, the author builds on this legacy, offering a practical compendium of first-hand observations, illustrated with detailed engravings of tools and machines. The work provides valuable insight into the challenges and capabilities of mine warfare, detailing construction techniques and the preparation of explosive charges. The nuanced tables of mine charges alone make this book a valuable contribution to the study of 17th-century warfare.
