Siege Mines and Underground Warfare
 "Enlarge Image")
Paperback, 56 pages. Black and white photographs, sketches and maps.
In the annals of siege warfare, the miner was a serious threat to the security of the strongest foundations. The advent of gunpowder revolutionised and sustained mining as an integral part of sophisticated fortress warfare. In the First World War mining and countermining reached new levels of intensity and destructive capability, before tunnelling as an offensive strategy came to an end.
