Abstract : | Provides an introduction to the design, development and purpose of American coastal defenses in the 'modern period' (1885-1950), a period defined by the use of concrete, steel, and powerful breech-loading rifles. This title offers period and modern-day images of the fortifications, and covers the emplacements, weaponry, equipment, and people. |
