The very real threat of the invasion of Britain in 1940 initiated a
huge military construction program. Around the vulnerable coasts of
the country, as well as inland, were built thousands of pillboxes,
anti-tank barriers and other obstacles to defeat or delay the
invader. The end of WWII saw much cleared away but sufficient still
remains, and this book guides the curious in identifying the
remaining defensive structures and features which once formed part
of the military landscape. Although, to our eyes, the survivals
might seem randomly placed, there was always a considered plan and
the book describes how these plans worked. Previously little
appreciated, a national project (The Defence of Britain) has now
identified many of the sites and there is a growing movement to
protect what remains.
