The book features such famous examples as the German ‘88’, the British 25-pounder and the American M109.

There are also full specifications tables that list country of origin, weights, dimensions and armament (with all weights and measures provided in both metric and imperial). Spread throughout the book are ‘head-to-head’ comparisons between rival artillery types, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.
