This remarkable work is a literal treasure trove of hard-to-find information on a litany of structures and defenses. An essay on military architecture and the various modes of warfare is presented along with details of each conquest.

It is illustrated with eye views of medieval engagements, numerous sectional drawings as well as plans, and has complete descriptions of these classic wood, stone, and mortar structures revealing their secrets. |
