A Chronicle History of Forts and Fortresses charts the entire history of fortification, from the Ancient Babylonian brick structures of 3500 BC to the massive Atlantic Wall erected by the Germans during World War II. Each chapter covers a specific period in history, or a specific culture, and fully documents the best examples of fortification, the defensive innovations of the period, and other key developments, such as the invention of gunpowder and the evolution of cannon warfare.

Alexander the Great is one of the most famous men in history, and many believe he was the greatest military genius of all time (Julius Caesar wept at the feet of his statue in envy of his achievements). Most of his thirteen year reign as king of Macedon was spent in hard campaigning which conquered half the then-known world, during which he never lost a battle.

The scope and scale of Operation Barbarossa—the German invasion of the Soviet Union—make it one of the pivotal events of the Second World War. Yet our understanding of both the military campaign as well as the “war of annihilation” conducted throughout the occupied territories depends overwhelmingly on “top-down” studies. The three million German soldiers who crossed the Soviet border and experienced this war are seldom the focus and are often entirely ignored.

На протяжении более чем полутора столетий, с середины XVI в. и вплоть до самого окончания правления Петра Великого, неотъемлемой частью русского войска были стрельцы. Они стали первой русской пехотой, полностью оснащенной огнестрельным оружием и которую можно назвать постоянной и в известном смысле регулярной (с поправкой на реалии эпохи).

It was certainly not through the foresight of his senior officers that Charles Carrington, a veteran of the First World War, was enabled to put his experience in that earlier conflict to good use in the Second, as readers of this remarkable book will soon learn.

Yet by the time of his death in 1722 he was among the richest men in the country, with a dukedom, a palace and a principality to call his own.
