Siege Warfare Engineering unveils the intricate blend of mechanical engineering, military history, and psychological warfare that defined historical sieges.
More than just brute force, successful sieges relied on sophisticated engineering to design fortifications and develop siege engines like trebuchets and catapults.
The book reveals how psychological tactics, such as propaganda and attrition, were employed to undermine defenders' morale.
The book systematically explores the structural, psychological, and tactical elements of sieges.
It begins with the fundamentals, then delves into the engineering of fortifications and siege engines, and finally examines psychological techniques.
By drawing from historical accounts, archaeological findings, and engineering analyses, the book demonstrates how these elements intertwined to shape the outcome of historical sieges and influence military doctrine.
