Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The Paris Gun' is a detailed historical account of one of the most remarkable engineering feats and military strategies of World War I. Henry Willard Miller provides a comprehensive examination of the German long-range guns, famously known as the 'Paris Guns, ' which were used to bombard the French capital from unprecedented distances during the final year of the Great War. The work meticulously documents the technical development, deployment, and impact of these massive weapons, situating them within the broader context of the great German offensives of 1918. The narrative explores the psychological and physical effects of the bombardment on the citizens of Paris, while also detailing the frantic efforts of Allied forces to locate and neutralize the mysterious battery hidden deep within the forest of St. Gobain. By combining technical analysis with historical narrative, the book offers a unique perspective on the evolution of modern warfare and the birth of long-range ballistic weaponry. This study serves as an essential resource for those interested in military history, ballistics, and the strategic complexities of the Western Front. Readers will find a gripping tale of scientific innovation used for destructive ends during a pivotal moment in European history.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
