A Treatise On The Defense Of Fortified Places is a book written by Lazare Carnot in 1814. The book is a comprehensive guide on the defense of fortified places, covering topics such as the design and construction of fortifications, the organization of the garrison, and the tactics and strategies involved in defending a fortified position. Carnot's book draws on his extensive military experience, having served as a general in the French Revolutionary Wars and as Minister of War under Napoleon Bonaparte. He provides detailed instructions on the construction of various types of fortifications, including bastions, redoubts, and trenches, and offers advice on how to defend them against different types of attacks.The book also covers the importance of logistics in the defense of a fortified position, including the need for a reliable supply of food, water, and ammunition. Carnot emphasizes the need for discipline and training among the garrison, and provides examples of successful defenses from history, including the Siege of Gibraltar and the defense of the city of Saragossa during the Peninsular War.Overall, A Treatise On The Defense Of Fortified Places is a valuable resource for military strategists and historians alike, offering insights into the techniques and tactics used in the defense of fortified positions throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
