According to modern strategists, the strength and efficiency of a nation's artillery is the best indication of its army's effectiveness, no matter how powerful the tanks and supporting aircraft. This book provides a comprehensive at artillery equipment of all types. It affirms the abiding value of "tube" artillery--guns, howitzers and mortars--and describes how these have been used from WWII up to the present.
This is, without doubt, the finest book about the crucial role that artillery played in the two World Wars of the Twentieth century. The authors, both former artillery officers who saw action in Word War Two, describe the development of their neglected, inadequate and class-ridden arm through the battles of the First World War and the eventual war-winning role that artillery played, to the culmination of professional military deployment in the Second World War.

Podtitul: Složitá cesta spojenců ze Sicílie ke konečnému vítězství. Když se spojenci vylodili na italské pevnině, měli v plánu pouze čistící operace s cílem vyřadit Itálii z války, ale Hitler nařídil německým armádám bránit každou píď země, což jim za krvavých a krutých bojů dařilo až do května roku 1945. Válka v Itálii se vymkla kontrole, rozrostla se v rozsáhlý konflikt a pohlcovala velká kvanta mužů, tanků, děl a letadel. Tato kniha popisuje spojenecké angažmá v ITÁLII a v tomto rámci analyzuje hlavní bitvy.
