Synopsis
With lively narrative and detailed illustrations, Simon Pepper and Nicholas Adams trace the evolving relationship between technological innovations in firearms in sixteenth-century Italy and advances in Renaissance military architecture and city fortification. Through their use of paintings and drawings, extensive archival research and first-hand observation at the major sites of the Sienese wars, they vividly recreate the drama of the battlefield.
