Description
Since the beginning of settlement in 1612, the history of Bermuda and its fortification against attack have gone hand in hand. From the 1780's, the Island was also a vital bastion in the defence of the British Empire. The book presents an unparalleled investigation of that history and the military structures that evolved with it. Replete with more than 400 colour and black-and-white illustrations, the book is the result of fifteen years of archival and archaeological research - a must for everyone interested in the heritage of this remarkable Island, an in the international legacy of British coastal defence work. The history and architectural details of each and every fort are described in detail, with the help of good floorplans and drawings. |
