From the Back Cover
This classic text is the first integrated survey of the phenomenon of siege warfare during its most creative period. Duffy demonstrates the implications of the fortress for questions of military organization, strategy, geography, law, architectural values, town life and symbolism and imagination. The book is well illustrated, and will be a valuable companion for enthusiasts of military and architectural history, as well as the general medievalist.
Customer Reviews
An education for student and lecturer alike
Christopher Duffy's opus on Early Modern Siege Warfare is a fascinating read. From the outset it is comprehensible to the lay person yet not so much as to be useless to the scholar. Duffy has managed to combine an engrossing writing style with an attention to detail that surely has placed this book at the top of its category as a seminal work for years to come.
