However, I am currently reading Vauban's treatise on Siegecraft, which is really good example of solid tactical writing, in a "here's how you do it," way that makes very good sense, because with a specific context you can give specific advice, complete with "common errors made when conducting a siege" - Gold dust.
Wilf, do you have a full title for the Vauban's book?
