Using the example of a typical European fortress, here called La Roche-Pont, the famous French restorer and architectural historian Viollet-le-Duc examines the stages of development of fortifications and siege weapons over more than two thousand years. The author discusses the intricacies of political intrigue and the problems of religious conflicts, describes the peculiarities of fortification construction, the types of defense and capture of fortifications, the evolution of the weapons used by troops, and the various tactics of battle. Written as an exciting novel, competently argued work of Viollet-le-Duc is recognized worldwide as an outstanding work in the history of military art.
The book is accompanied by illustrations, drawings, diagrams, and a glossary of terminology.
