The second volume in a multi-part series, this book details British
fortifications used from the Tudor period beginning in 1485 through
the end of World War II in 1945. With the advent of firearms, the
Tudor period indeed opened a new chapter in the histories of
Britain, fortification and warfare. By 1500 AD, Britain and Europe
at large entered a new phase, marked by the foundation of colonial
empires and a broadened sphere of influence and rule. During the
following centuries, British sailors, ruthless adventurers,
fighting men, and greedy merchants laid foundations to fortify the
most widespread and most prosperous colonial Empire the world had
ever seen. This text focuses on British coastal fortifications and
on combinations of fortresses used for more general strategic
purposes. Featured structures have protected points of vital
importance, such as capital cities, military depots, ports, harbors
and dockyards at essential locations in Britain and throughout the
British Empire.
