Field Fortification - Preparatory Course

Book on field fortification, used on French regimentary schools. Published in the late 19th century, it shows how to design and construct all kinds of field fortifications - but it also shows how to create road blocks and other obstacles, how to blow up bridges, railways, etc. All in all it is a complete book on all aspects of field fortification(s), pioneering, etc.

The book is written in French entirely. It is illustrated with 183 technical drawings and it is in VERY GOOD shape - almost AS NEW. A RARE manual!
