Once called the Red Army, the Soviet Army has its roots in the old Imperial Tsarist Army. In the thirties it modelled itself, as far as its political and social composition allowed, on the German Army of the period. During the Second World War they turned the lessons learned from the German tank philosophers to their advantage, lessons that left a lasting impression on Soviet High Command. The authors give a precise and detailed account of the development of the Ground Forces, their political and military organisation, their training, tactics and weaponry.

Originally written in Latin, the English edition was translated from French by George Shelvoche Jnr. and published in London in 1729. Projectiles such as red-hot shot, bar shot chain shot and other incendiary 'globes' are described in some detail, but the majority of information relates to military and civil rockets. The descriptions of those controlled by sticks and vanes show that there was practically no improvement between the middle of the 17th and the first quarter of the 20th century.The book is profusely illustrated.
