Published 23 October 2008
This little, well-structured volume reviews the 49 different guns of this type from the modest 95-mm coast gun mounted on an armoured wagon to the redoubtable 340, 370 and 400-mm guns, without forgetting the most gigantic of them all, the 520-mm 1916-Model Howitzer - 265 tonnes by rail - whose shell alone weighed 1,600 kg.
