Ebook: Twentieth Century Artillery

(Хогг Ян. Артиллерия двадцатого века). — London: Amber Books Ltd. 2000. — 322 p.Ian Hogg is one of the world's leading experts on small arms, artillery systems, ammunition and defence systems in general. He is the author of numerous books on these subjects, including The Big Guns 1939-45, A History of Artillery and Military Small Arms of the 20th Century. He currently lives in the west of England.
Future military historians will surely look back upon the 20th century and say There was the zenith of artillery. Artillery will, of course, still retain its pre-eminence on the battlefield, but for sheer diversity of types and multiplicity of designs, for size, for numbers and for tactical influence, the likes of artillery as it stood in 1945 will never be seen again. This book attempts to show a fraction of that diversity, a cross-section of the weapons used by various nations between 1900 and 1999.Contents:
