Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of field fortification, offering practical instruction on designing, building, defending, and attacking temporary fortifications. It provides a comprehensive analysis of various fortification types, including redans, lunettes, and star forts, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. The author emphasizes the importance of a "flanked disposition," where different sections of the fortifications provide mutual defense, and stresses the need for strong profiles to effectively deter attackers. Recognizing the limitations of relying solely on firepower, the author advocates for the strategic use of the bayonet and well-timed sorties to decisively repel enemy assaults. This treatise, originally intended for military cadets, offers valuable insights for anyone interested in the historical and tactical significance of field fortifications. By illuminating the interplay between offensive and defensive strategies, it underscores the enduring importance of adaptability and tactical ingenuity in the face of adversity.
