Book Description

Excerpt from Fabrique d'Armes de Guerre, de Chasse Et de Tir du Système Vetterli, Fondée en 1860: Album, Prix-Courant L'avantage que le fusil à répétition possède sur le fusil à simple charge consiste dans la possibilité de tirer plus rapidement, parce que la manipulation quidemande le plus de temps, c'est-à - dire la saisie et l'introduction des cartouches est supprimée. Cet avan tage parait aux uns assez important pour justifier l'introduction dans l'armée de fusils à répétition, tandis que d'autres se prononcent contre une telle mesure en la déclarant périlleuse ou tout ou moins peu avan tagense.

The Russo-Japanese War 1904–05


Book Description

The Russo-Japanese War in Manchuria was the first 20th century conflict fought between the regular armies of major powers, employing the most modern means – machine guns, trench warfare, minefields and telephone communications; and the battle of Mukden in March 1905 was the largest clash of armies in world history up to that date. Events were followed by many foreign observers; but the events of 1914 in Western Europe suggest that not all of them drew the correct conclusions. For the first time in the West the armies of this distant but important war are described and illustrated in detail, with rare photos and the superbly atmospheric paintings of Russia's leading military illustrator.
