Manning, StephenBAYONET TO BARRAGE: Weaponry on the Victorian Battlefield Explores how Victorian-era advances in weaponry transformed battle tactics and soldiers' experiences from bayonets to machine guns. Describes the developments in firepower and, using the first-hand accounts of the soldiers, shows how their perception of battle changed. Innovations like the percussion and breech-loading rifle influenced the fighting in the Crimean War of the 1850s and the colonial campaigns of the 1870s and 1880s, in particular in the Anglo-Zulu War and the wars in Egypt and Sudan. The machine gun was used to deadly effect at the Battle of Omdurman in 1898, and equally dramatic advances in artillery took warfare into a new era of tactics and organization.1 vol, 240 pgs 2026 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-pb, available early March 2026 ......$33.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our 19TH CENTURY
