Long before a fortress has been besieged and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econquered, it has to have been out-thought before it can be outfought. A siege can be described as an assault on an opposing force attempting to defend itself from behind a position of some strength. Whenever the pendulum of technology swings against the status quo, the defenders of a fortification have usually been compelled to surrender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contains examples of sieges, both successful and unsuccessful, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edemonstrating that no matter how securely a fortress or defensive position is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econstructed and defended, eventually a good plan and a determined besieger can overcome it. One way or another, time, willpower and determined effort will be brought together in sufficient quantity and quality to bring a siege or a defense to a successful conclusion. It will be argued through the examples presented in this book that ultimately, no fortress is impregnable. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49568730611985,"sku":"GOR013524156","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51264401998097,"sku":"NIN9781637957332","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52433100603665,"sku":"NLS9781637957332","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1637957335.jpg?v=1751214888","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/siegecraft-book-harold-a-skaarup-9781637957332","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
