Wales, a small country, is littered with the relics of war - Iron
Age forts, Roman ruins, medieval castles and the coastal forts of
the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The biggest construction
of fortifications in Wales took place during the reign of Edward I.
They were not only built to deter an invader, but to control the
frequent Welsh uprisings. The next wave of constructions occurred
during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when a number of
forts and gun emplacements were built, mostly in South Wales, to
deter a seaborne invasion. The twentieth century introduced a new
mode of defence, especially during the two world wars, in the form
of pillboxes, tank traps and gun emplacements. The various
airfields constructed were the most visible form of defence and
could be regarded as the castles of the period. This book looks at
how Welsh castles protected Wales to make it what it is today.
