Castles and Fortified Cities of Medieval Europe: An Illustrated History
During the Middle Ages, castles and other fortified buildings were a common feature of the European landscape. As central powers rose and fell, the insecurity of the time inspired a revival of fortification techniques first introduced in the Roman Empire. Despite limitations in construction techniques and manpower, medieval fortifications were continuously adapted to meet new political circumstances and weapons technology. Here is an illustrated guide to the architecture of medieval fortifications, from the first castles to the fortified cities of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. In hundreds of detailed and thoroughly researched pen-and-ink drawings, artist Jean-Denis G.G. Lepage introduces the reader to a heterogeneous group of buildings whose unique characteristics show the development and diversity of European medieval military architecture. Each drawing is accompanied by detailed text describing types of buildings (e.g., moat-and-bailey castles), built-in defenses (arrow splits, pepper-pot towers), and particular castles and cities (the Mont-Saint-Michel, the city of Jerusalem). Elements of medieval warfare and weaponry are also covered in drawings and text.

The Attac And Defence Of Fortified Places
The Attac and Defence of Fortified Places was the definitive guide for conducting and withstanding sieges in the 18th century, strongly influencing both field generals and city governors. Originally in print from 1747 to 1791, this book covers the strategies used in conflicts such as the War of Austrian Succession, the Seven Years War, and the American Revolution. John Muller's work draws heavily on Vauban's solid foundation of the 17th century, expanding and updating it to include 18th century innovations and tactics. In the 18th century, warfare was dominated by fortifications. Many wars and battles were focused on besieging cities and forts, or on attempting to raise or prevent a siege. Although armies often met on the battlefield, their tactics and strategies were greatly influenced by the nearby strongholds. An understanding of siege warfare is crucial to following the course of a war and to comprehending the related history. Notes by David Manthey include a short biography of John Muller, an explanation of 18th century gunpowder and maps, and a modern description of the computations used for mines. Also included are corrections to and observations on the text. A complete lexicon of terms clarifies the text and provides additional details..
