The author details the types of artillery used and the construction of entrenchments, redoubts and battery positions.  Photographs of the reconstructed fortifications help the reader visualize the action.  In additon, references to archaeological excavations are not only fascinating, but give the reader a look at the detail involved in siege warfare.         The author has done a superb job of research and his writing, though a bit stiff at times, keeps the reader interested.
