Bridges of Battle by Donald Featherstone

Battle often takes place in a landscape that offers natural features helpful to the tactics of attack, defence - or even retreat. Rivers, the most impossible of natural barriers to overcome, concentrate military attention on their crossing points; major battles have been fought through the ages to capture control of strategically important bridges. This book looks at such actions, from Roman days through to World War II, showing how the physical restraints at bridging points have spawned the most ingenious military solutions.
