Fortress Europe

Country by country, this book describes in detail every one of the fortifications built prior to and during World War Two. The fortifications of smaller countries, like Belgium and the Netherlands, which added important segments to larger defensive lines, are covered with the same attention to detail as the more well-known fortifications. Much new information is available here on the defenses in Eastern Europe as well.

The descriptions and technical specifications of Europe's forts are supplemented by scores of remarkable technical drawings by Polish artist Robert M. Jurga.

The Journal of Military History wrote about the book: "This book, for the first time, brings together useful and new information on World War II fortifications throughout Europe. The information provided on the fortifications, auxilliary structures, weapons, and related equipment, with illustrations, is very valuable".

The book is written in English and contains more than 100 technical drawings, 60 photos and 45 maps.
