ANNALS OF A FORTRESS: Twenty-Two Centuries of Siege Warfare

ANNALS OF A FORTRESS: Twenty-Two Centuries of Siege Warfare 
This brilliant and evocative work is one of the greatest and most unusual books ever written on siege warfare and fortifications.
In authoritative and lucid prose, Viollet-le-Duc recreates the life of a French castle from its obscure origins to its fate in the Franco-Prussian War. In Annals of a Fortress he examines the life of the imaginery castle of La Roche-Pont as it endures numerous protracted and bitter sieges. La Roche-Pont is first fortified by Gallish tribes, suffers a Roman siege, falls to the Burgundians, becomes involved in feudal squabbles, defends itself against Louis XI in 1478, protects Richelieu's France against Imperialist invaders, is bombarded by the Allies during the Napoleonic Wars and is rebuilt in time for the Franco-Prussian War. This refreshing book is a lucid classic and a superb way of tracing the rise and fall of European fortifications.
