The Great War confronted Australia's fledgling field and garrison artillery forces with a seemingly insurmountable challenge: to rapidly raise, prepare, deploy and engage in history's most lethal war to date. By 1915, the Australian artillery entered into a bloody contest of learning and adaptation against resourceful and resolute opponents, where the stakes would be measured in thousands of soldiers' lives. Far from popularly-held views of the Great War as one of stalemate and stagnation, this book revea ls a dynamic and rapidly evolving battle-scape, as artillery planners on each side sought to combine innovative concepts, technology and tactics into victory. The book draws on an array of perspectives on artillery and firepower, presented by Australian a nd international experts and practitioners over four years during the Firepower: Lessons from the Great War seminar series, commemorating the Centenary of Anzac. From Anzac Cove to the Hindenburg Line, Clash of the gods of war tells a gripping Australian story of the Great War through the lens of artillery - the most lethal and influential arm of the war - and considers the legacy that its evolutionary journey holds for warfare today. |
