Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Max Millar (illustrator). Third Impression [stated}. 31 cm. 254 pages. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations (Over 359 illustrations including 59 in full color). Front hinge sprung. Dudley Bernard Egerton Pope (29 December 1925 - 25 April 1997) was a British writer of both nautical fiction and history, most notable for his Lord Ramage series of historical novels. Greatly inspired by C.S. Forester, Pope was one of the most successful authors to explore the genre of nautical fiction, often compared to Patrick O'Brian. His first book, Flag 4, was published in 1954, followed by several other historical accounts. C. S. Forester, the creator of the famed Horatio Hornblower novels, encouraged Pope to add fiction to his repertoire. In 1965, Ramage appeared, the first of what was to become an 18-novel series. The acclaimed naval historian offers up a richly detailed survey of the development of all sorts of firearms, from small handguns to rifled cannon. The Table of Contents includes: introduction, 1. The Discovery of Gunpowder, 2. The Arrival of the Gun, 3. The First Great Gunner, 4. The Development of Hand Guns, 5. Guns Influence Tactics, 6. The Age of Change, 7. The Science of Guns, 8.
