Scraping the Barrel: The Military Use of Substandard Manpower, 1860-1960
ISBN: 9780823239771 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

British Artillery on the Western Front in the First World War: 'The Infantry Cannot Do with a Gun Less'
ISBN: 9781409411109 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9789004305243 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In King of Battle: Artillery in World War I, a distinguished array of authors examines the centrepiece of battle in the Great War: artillery. Going beyond the usual tables of calibres and ranges, the contributors consider the organization and technology of artillery, as well as present aspects of training, doctrine, and other national idiosyncrasies. Artillery dominated the battlefields of World War I, and forever changed the military doctrine of war. No nation that had participated in significant ground combat would blithely assume that morale could ever replace firepower. The essays...
