Publisher's Synopsis
The book covers the Mexican artillery transition from the old muzzle-loaders guns in service at the end of the French intervention into the De Bange guns, Saint Chamond Mondragon models. Hotchkiss light artillery, Vickers Howitzers, Schneider Canet field guns.
The material aims to provide information beyond merely a recollection of the different artillery patterns used during the Mexican revolution and deep dive into Mexican military documental describing the doctrine, organization, tactical deployment, and contractual negotiations with the ordnance manufacturers. The Mexican revolution was the storm that swept the country during two decades of fratricidal civil wars, where foreign influence on key military and political players decided the selection of French ordnance over German artillery models.
