Long before a fortress has been besieged and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econquered, it has to have been out-thought before it can be outfought. A siege can be described as an assault on an opposing force attempting to defend itself from behind a position of some strength. Whenever the pendulum of technology swings against the \"status quo,\" the defenders of a fortification have usually been compelled to surrender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contains examples of sieges, both successful and unsuccessful, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edemonstrating that no matter how securely a fortress or defensive position is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econstructed and defended, eventually a good plan and a determined besieger can overcome it. One way or another, time, willpower and determined effort will be brought together in sufficient quantity and quality to bring a siege or a defense to a successful conclusion. It will be argued through the examples presented in this book that ultimately, \"no fortress is impregnable.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harold a.
