The discovery of the collective weapon that artillery represents, born of the combination of advances in science, technology and tactical innovation in the field.

Decisive on the battlefield, artillery nonetheless remains one of the great forgotten subjects of military history. This paradox is, in our country, all the more striking given that French artillery has often been the most innovative, and that it has enabled France to secure many of its victories.

While the Caesar is regarded as one of the finest artillery pieces in the world and has proved its effectiveness across all theatres of operation, including in Ukraine, telling this scientific and military story seems essential.

Over six centuries, French artillery would transform the way war is waged: technical developments had decisive consequences on the battlefield and their effects were immediately felt in combat.

From the Bureau brothers to the 75mm cannon, from the Gribeauval system to the Caesar, this new history of French artillery invites the reader on a remarkable journey to the heart of this "learned arm".
