The great walled castles of the medieval world continue to
fascinate the modern world. Today, the remains of medieval forts
and walls throughout Europe are popular tourist sites. Unlike many
other books on castles, "The Medieval Fortress" is unique in its
comprehensive treatment of these architectural wonders from a
military perspective."The Medieval Fortress" includes an analysis
of the origins and evolution of castles and other walled defenses,
a detailed description of their major components, and the reasons
for their eventual decline. The authors, acclaimed fortification
experts J.E. and H.W. Kaufmann, explain how the military strategies
and weapons used in the Middle Ages led to many modifications of
these structures. All of the representative types of castles and
fortifications are discussed, from the British Isles, Ireland,
France, Germany, Moorish Spain, Italy, as far east as Poland and
Russia, as well as Muslim and Crusader castles in the Middle East.
Over 200 photographs and 300 extraordinarily detailed technical
drawings, plans, and sketches by Robert M. Jurga accompany and
enrich the main text.
