About This Book

A detailed, chronological account of a prolonged siege that concentrates on military operations, naval skirmishes, and engineering works used to blockade and relieve a city. The narrative describes daring raids by irregular seafarers that harassed supply lines, the raising of enemy redoubts and bridges to isolate the defenders, and the defenders’ urgent efforts to destroy those links. Close-quarters encounters, sorties, and small-unit exploits recur alongside descriptions of logistical strain and the tactics both besiegers and besieged employ to control waterways and access to provisions.
