{"product_id":"medieval-siege-weapons-1-david-nicolle-9781841762357","title":"Medieval Siege Weapons (1): Western Europe Ad 585-1385","description":"The Medieval era was a period of huge variety and invention in siege warfare. Before the use of cannon and other gun-powder artillery, siege engines relied on assorted sources of power, from torsion 'energy storage' systems to man-power, counter-balances and others. This book reveals how technological traditions from the Graeco-Roman world, Persia, India and above all China made a massive contribution to siege warfare techniques. It also covers developments in military engineering, such as mining, counter-mining, the breaking of walls, the use of noxious and chemical fumes and the use of fire-weapons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Nicolle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841762350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841762357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.72h x 5.06w x 0.17d","brand":"David Nicolle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938907554047,"sku":"9781841762357","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a82cdadf-99e5-49db-b4c6-e92147824ed2.jpg?v=1681438379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medieval-siege-weapons-1-david-nicolle-9781841762357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
