Review
“The succinct presentation of the material, useful information, and logical organization of this volume will enhance its utility even for library collections that do not support programs in military history, and the subject matter is relevant to many other disciplines, e.g., history of technology. Recommended for reference collections in academic libraries.”–Choice
“...this is a verygood work on a specialized topic. Libraries whose users are interested in military history in general or the field artillery in particular will find this a useful purchase.”–ARBA
