Résumé ou extrait
  • La 4e de couv. indique : "Marshal Vauban was one of the greatest military engineers of all time. His complex highly sophisticated fortress designs, his advanced theories for the defence and attack of fortified places, and his prolific work as a writer and radical thinker on military and social affairs mark him out as one of the most influential military minds of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries ... James Falkner ... follows his career as a soldier from a dashing and brave young cavalryman to his emergence as a masterful and innovative military engineer. Vauban's work in ... designing, constructing and improving over 150 fortresses across France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and northern Italy, along the Rhine and in the Pyrenees and on France's long coastline, made him the preeminent military engineer of his day."
