Book Description
Close-in air blast from the Sedan event was considerably greater than expected on the basis of previous measurements of blast from nuclear events in basalt and from HE events in both basalt and alluvium. In Spite of overranging of the pressure gages, the measurements permit derivation of a lower limit of peak overpressure and an upper limit on the amount of blast Suppression resulting from charge burial. Comparison of Sedan blast suppression with that of previous buried HE and nuclear shots shows that Sedan blast suppression was considerably less than would have been predicted from HE shots at comparable burst depths. Sedan peak overpressures were two to three times those of Stagecoach III at approximately the same cube-root sealed burial depth and four times those of Scooter or Buckboard 12 (at or near the burial depth for maximum crater). The scaled total positive-phase impulse for Sedan was about the same as those of Stagecoach III, Buckboard 12, and Scooter, while the scaled positive- phase duration was much shorter. Blast suppression factors, based on peak overpressure and impulse, reflect the above differences. The differences may be due, in part at least, to a higher pressure in a relatively smaller cavity volume at the time of venting for Sedan than for the HE shots.

Book Description
A historian analyzes the Franco-Prussian War’s Battle of Sedan, from its causes and effects, to the characters involved. The Franco-Prussian War was a turning point in the history of nineteenth-century Europe, and the Battle of Sedan was the pivotal event in that war. For the Germans, their overwhelming victory symbolized the birth of their nation, forged in steel and tempered in the blood of the common enemy. For the French, it was a defeat more complete and humiliating than Waterloo. Author Douglas Fermer’s fresh study of this traumatic moment in European history reconsiders how the mutual fear and insecurity of two rival nations tempted their governments to seek a solution to domestic tensions by waging war against each other. His compelling narrative shows how war came about, and how the dramatic campaign of summer 1870 culminated in a momentous clash of arms at Sedan. He gives fascinating insights into the personalities and aims of the politicians and generals involved but also spotlights the experiences of ordinary soldiers and civilians. Praise for Sedan 1870 “Fermer is an eminently readable author and his books well worth the investment. Sedan 1870, is an excellent study in hubris and hunger, doctrine and professionalism and the underlying motivation that drives troops, regardless of the quality of their leadership, to astonishing levels of self-sacrifice.” —Chris Buckham, The Military Reviewer
