About the Author:
Anticipating hostilities, a dynamic military leader summons his finest engineers and craftsmen to develop new weapons. Two years later, those weapons lead to a decisive victory. The time is 24 centuries ago, the leader is Dionysus of Syracuse, and the weapons include tension-powered catapults—the earliest recorded artillery pieces deployed in battle.
Jeff Kinard, PhD, is a military historian and professional writer. His published works include ABC-CLIO's Pistols: An Illustrated History of Their Impact.
