Modern Military and War History

About this title

Synopsis

How mobile artillery shaped the battlefield, then and now.

This concise study examines how guns and cavalry move together to win battles, with a focus on mobility as the key to effectiveness. A classic look at horse artillery and its role in real campaigns, from the Peninsular War to the Crimean clash and beyond.

Drawing on historical episodes and practical insights, the book explains why lighter, nimble guns can outpace and outmaneuver opponents when paired with fast-moving cavalry. It shows how mobility affects plan, tempo, and outcomes, and why the horses that pull the guns matter as much as the metal on the rails and ruts of the field. While rooted in military history, the discussion remains relevant to readers curious about strategy, technology, and the evolution of gun crews in battle.

How horse artillery differs from field artillery and why mounted gunners matter in rapid campaigns.
Examples of guns and cavalry cooperating on the move, with lessons from famous battles.
The enduring value of mobility, tactics, and the human element in artillery work.
Illustrations of how campaigns across Europe and Asia tested and refined these arms.

Ideal for readers of military history and strategy, this edition offers clear, accessible insights into a pivotal topic in warfare.
