Fascinating survey of the use of railroads to move ordinance. The book outlines the history of this area, from an 1853 English article proposing a national defense system using railways and the first actual use of military railroads during the Civil War through the firm establishment of their use during World War I. There are separate chapters discussing the American, French and English use of railways to move artillery guns. Illustrated with black and white photos and numerous diagrams. Printed on blue-green paper. 62 pages.
