Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Produced as an instructional text for cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point, this manual presents the principles of permanent fortification and the methods of attacking and defending fortified positions. The author, Dennis Hart Mahan, served as professor of military and civil engineering at West Point for over forty years and shaped the professional education of nearly every senior officer who fought in the Civil War on both sides. His influence on American military thought was profound, and this work represents his systematic effort to transmit European fortification science to an American military audience. The manual covers the geometric and engineering principles that governed the design of permanent defensive works: the layout of bastions, curtain walls, ravelins, and outworks; the calculation of fields of fire and dead ground; the siting of batteries and magazines; and the construction methods that translated theoretical designs into earthwork and masonry realities. On the offensive side, Mahan presents the formal approach to siege operations: the establishment of lines of investment, the construction of parallels and sap trenches, the placement of breaching batteries, and the timing and execution of assaults. The defensive chapters examine how a garrison could extend the life of a fortification through active defense, counter-mining, sorties, and the systematic destruction of approaches. The engineering vocabulary throughout is highly specialized and spatially precise. Cadets studying this text were expected to translate written descriptions into scaled drawings and models, and the language reflects that expectation. Terms like bastion, glacis, covered way, embrasure, and enfilade carry exact geometric meanings that the manual defines through both description and implicit reference to the European fortification tradition from Vauban forward. The text preserves a register of military-engineering language that was the common professional vocabulary of American officers from the 1830s through the Civil War era. The institutional significance of this work is considerable. Mahan's West Point formed the professional core of the antebellum American officer corps, and his engineering instruction provided the technical foundation for the extensive fieldwork and fortification that characterized the Civil War. Officers on both sides applied principles learned from this manual at Vicksburg, Petersburg, and dozens of other fortified positions. The connection between classroom instruction and battlefield application gives the text a documentary importance that extends beyond its pedagogical purpose. Modern readers gain access to the actual curriculum that educated America's nineteenth-century military leadership. Students of Civil War history can trace the doctrine that informed engineering decisions on both sides. Military architecture enthusiasts encounter the theoretical framework behind the star forts, coastal batteries, and field fortifications that dot the American landscape. The Frontier Model Bibliophile edition preserves this West Point manual in its full technical detail, maintaining the instructional character and engineering precision of the original. West Point professor Dennis Hart Mahan's manual on permanent fortification design, siege operations, and defensive engineering for military cadets. This item is printed on demand.
