Looking at an old-time cannon, most people are sure of just one thing: the shot came out of the front end. For that reason these pages are written; people are curious about the fascinating weapon that so prodigiously and powerfully lengthened the warrior's arm. And theirs is a justifiable curiosity, because the gunner and his "art" played a significant role in our history. The development of heavy ordnance through the ages is a subject with many fascinating ramifications, but this survey has of necessity been brief. It has only been possible to indicate the general pattern. Most of the interesting details must await the publication of much larger volumes. It is hoped, however, that enough information has been included herein to enhance the enjoyment that comes from inspecting the great variety of cannon and projectiles that are to be seen throughout the National Park System.

1.0 out of 5 stars A lot missing!
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021

Should be called "Muzzle-loading Artillery through the ages", it says copyrighted 1949 but almost zero discussion of anything after the Civil War, when the transition to breechloading, modern ammunition, and recoil mechanisms in the later 19th century would have made fascinating reading. I guess "emphasizing types used in America" should have been a hint. Very disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Through the Ages" is an exaggeration
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2023
Verified Purchase
The book lives up to the description of "a short illustrated history of cannon..." Its focus is primarily on muzzle loading cannons and only mentions modern artillery in a couple pages. No discussion of the artillery system (fire direction or observation for indirect fire).

5.0 out of 5 stars La copertina
Reviewed in Italy on February 5, 2020
Verified Purchase
è fuorviante, non c'e' alcun riferimento all'era "moderna", fosse anche il Bofors della II Guerra Mondiale ritratto. Il volume è invece dedicato alle armi "antiche", dalla nascita dei primi cannoni "di cuoio" a fine '800. Non ci sono foto ma schizzi illustrativi delle armi (e spesso molto artigianali). Ricco di tabelle e di capitoli tecnici, dai proiettili agli inneschi è comunque un volume insolito e imperdibile per gli appassionati. In formato kindle, al costo di mezzo caffe' ancora di più.
