This superbly presented book tells the story of the big guns and their rapid development over the past one hundred years. The evolution of modern artillery pieces is traced from the muzzle-loaders of the Crimean War (1853-1856) to the rocket and tube artillery duels of today's battlefields.

Illustrated throughout in color and black-and-white, there are informative and campaign maps and detailed diagrams describing how guns work and how they were used in a wide range of situations - from the trenches of World War I to the Pacific island defenses devised by the Japanese.
