The first military conflict to use iron-clad gunboats, metallic cartridges, and submarines, the Civil War also introduced such inventions as the telegraph and military balloon, utilized by the Signal Corps. This comprehensive reference brings a fresh perspective to wartime victories and defeats, with vivid descriptions of how the war was fought and what material was available to armies and navies of the Union and the Confederacy.
Profusely illustrated with hundreds of the author's own drawings, Jack Coggins's remarkable encyclopedia of military hardware and technology also describes such equipment as pontoon bridges, corduroy roads, "excelsior" percussion grenades, "freak guns," siege artillery, mines, and submarine torpedoes. Offering a new view on how military resources decided the outcome not only of battles, but of the war as well, the text also includes on-the-scene comments by Union and Confederate soldiers about equipment and camp life in general.
A must-have book for every Civil War enthusiast and for readers interested in the development of weaponry.

Formato 23 x 31.Obiettivi della presente pubblicazione sono quelli di elaborare nuovi strumenti per la comprensione dell’importanza rivestita dai cori nella formazione di un’identità nazionale italiana durante gli anni Quaranta dell’Ottocento e di rendere disponibile una parte della musica scritta in quell’occasione. Dopo i movimenti rivoluzionari del 1848, il ritorno degli austriaci ha creato un’atmosfera di feroce repressione fino al momento della formazione dello stato italiano, sotto la monarchia dei Savoia nel 1861. Pertanto si è concentrata l’attenzione sull’attività di Verdi durante il 1848 e tracciato un parallelo tra quella e il repertorio di inni e cori patriottici composti e pubblicati a Milano sull’onda delleCinque giornate (18-22 marzo 1848). Col tracciare all’interno del repertorio di inni e cori patriottici il percorso concettuale dalla metafora degli anni precedenti il 1848 alle esplicite affermazioni politiche del periodo rivoluzionario, quando Milano fu temporaneamente affrancata dalla censura austriaca, si propone un modello di lettura per un percorso simile alla metafora in lavori come Nabucco (1842) di Verdi agli espliciti sentimenti patriottici de La battaglia di Legnano (1848) dello stesso compositore
