Fortifications on the scale of these walls are unique in that they
are (apart from individual castles) the only known military measure
with long-term aims. The military aims sometimes proved of
extremely long-term value, the most extreme example being the
erection of the Great Wall of China. The aim of this volume is to
find out the common denominator (if any) behind the creation of
such fortifications, their effectiveness and their influence on a
long and short-term basis. Contents include: The Limes * Hadrians
Wall and the Antonine Wall * The "Danewerk" * The Frontera: Spanish
Defences against the Moors * The Great Wall of China * The French
Eastern Border * The Berlin Wall * The Jerusalem Wall
