Coastal Defences of the British Empire in the Revolutionary & Napoleonic Eras (MacCannell Daniel S)(Pevná vazba)
EAN: 9781526753458
Far more than an architecture book, Coastal Defences of the British Empire, 1775-1815 is a sweeping reinterpretation of the Martello towers, Grand Redoubts, Royal Military Canal and other new defence infrastructure of the Napoleonic War. Lavishly illustrated with period maps, views, portraits, cartoons and newly commissioned color photographs, it includes not only these structures' forerunners, and plans that were never executed, but also the grand strategy that informed them.
At its best, this saw Britain's position as a vast land battle, with the deadly threat of the French-held Antwerp navy yards on its own 'left wing', and Lisbon as the enemy's 'weak left' to be 'turned'. The book also takes in the astonishingly inventive, bold and bloody small-boat wars that raged from the Baltic and Channel coast to Chesapeake Bay and Lake Ontario, and provides vivid pen-sketches
