Reseña del editor
The pillboxes of Britain and Ireland are among the most important military structures employed in the history of the defence of these islands. This work presents the first thorough study and classification of pillboxes and related structures, including selection posts, Seagull and concrete trenches, gun-houses and turrets, battle headquarters and spigot-mortar emplacements. The author traces the use of small, free-standing defence structures from ancient times to the present, placing the pillbox within a historical continuum and identifying its course of development. The work also presents a typology of British and Irish pillboxes through a catalogue of known types and individual examples, and examines their tactical employment in the landscape.

Soft cover. Condición: NEW. 1st Edition. This new, unmarked copy is bound in illustrated card covers as issued. The text block is tight white, bright and square. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased charges will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. The pillbox is the iconic defence structure of the Second World War. Surprisingly however there has never been a history and systematic description of pillboxes and related structures. After covering renaissance caponiers, Martello Towers, Boer War blockhouses and the pillboxes of the First World War, Mike Osborne describes the development of defence structures in the Second World War and analyses the different pillbox types: hexagonal, square, rectangular, trapezoidal, circular, rounded, pentagonal, octagonal and other polygonal types. Also comprehensively covered are: section posts, Seagull trenches and concrete trenches; gun-houses and turrets; Exdo posts; battle Headquarters; spigot-mortar emplacements; converted buildings; Home Guard explosives and inflammable stores.
