This is the first volume of a major two-part work by Stephen Summerfield addressing the highly complex subject of French artillery. The author begins at the very beginning, illustrating the stages of development that ultimately led to the artillery used during the Seven Years' War. The second volume will extend the account into the Napoleonic era. All types of artillery are examined, including naval artillery. In addition to its rigorous scholarly analysis, the work is distinguished by exceptionally magnificent illustrationsfeaturing photographs and drawings of cannons and their carriages. Furthermore, artillery uniforms are covered to complement the presentation of the technical equipment.
