"The field artillery's story is a dramatic one, filled with individual heroes and bumbling commanders, with gallant stands and crushing victories. Military historian, VanLoan Naisawald, a former artillery officer ... re-creates the color and excitement of these battles, using the original battle histories and following specific battalions into the very heart of combat ... In describing the different types of weapons used and explaining the army's method of handling them, Mr. Naisawald ... shows what the guns of the period could do. He traces the development of the concept of massed division attack and artillery corps battles following Gettysburg and are still being used in modern tactical warfare. Out of the grape shot and canister shells that proved so effective for Northern troops during the Civil War evolved the fighting artillery of World War I and World War II."
