About this audiobook
The Artillery Enthusiast's Library: 19 Essential Reads assembles a broad documentary field around artillery: its mechanisms, tactical uses, organization, and cultural fascination. Across technical exposition, historical narrative, practical analysis, and reflective military writing, the volume charts the changing language through which guns, gunnery, and battlefield power have been understood. Its significance lies less in a single canonical argument than in the productive juxtaposition of specialized perspectives, allowing accounts of matériel and method to meet wider questions of strategy, discipline, and technological change. The contributors—Frederic Richard Kilner, Frederick Morse Cutler, Reginald Grant, John Victor Macartney-Filgate, C. A. Rose, Harold E. Cloke, Jeffery E. Jeffery, William Elmer Bachman, Cecil J. C. Street, Austin Thomas Anderson, James A. Frye, Richard M. Russell, Caroline Elizabeth Whitcomb, Charles Rendell Mabey, Edward Alexander Moore, George C. Sumner, Theodore Reichardt, George Manville Fenn, and Kenneth Ward—collectively represent the varied voices through which military knowledge is recorded and circulated. Their work situates artillery within traditions of technical instruction, military history, and popular writing about warfare. This anthology is recommended to students of military history, technology, and material culture, as well as to informed general readers. It offers an unusual opportunity to compare styles and assumptions within one focused volume, deepening appreciation of artillery's historical reach and encouraging dialogue between practical expertise and historical interpretation.
