Kiley’s vignette of Napoleon’s famous ‘whiff of grapeshot’ action in the streets of Paris in 1795 opens out into the dictionary of terms, beginning with abattage des bois, and ending at Zeughaus well over 500 pages later. Along the way, Kiley presents biographies of notable artillerymen, technical details of guns, descriptions of artillery systems, tactics, crew procedures, uniforms (many of them portrayed in a series of colour plates), and a myriad of detail and anecdotes.
