Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a military handbook offering comprehensive instruction on constructing field fortifications for armed forces. Written in the 19th century, the author was part of the corps that served the Duke of Wellington, and the writings reflect that depth of experience. The book begins with the basics of trace, profiles, and the building of lines and redoubts. But the author also includes detailed instruction on building different kinds of barriers, including abatis and chevaux de frise, as well as how to build special features like bridgeheads. Throughout the text, the author offers advice that mixes the practical observations of a veteran engineer with the theoretical knowledge of a scholar. The principles and tracing presented here remained a vital part of military field fortifications into the 20th century and informed current theories of defense. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
