The Mechanics of War: Artillery Tactics 1939-1945 (Repost)

In Artillery Tactics Shelford Bidwell describes how guns work, how they are sited and fired and how from their origins in the 19th Century they became the blitzkrieg stopper in 1943. Artillery Tactics includes tables of the guns used by the major combatants, the tactics evolved for special targets like bunkers, and the men who took artillery from a neflected art in 1940 to its position as the "cement of victory" in 1945.
