Volume I of the Military Complexes of Antigua describes the initial colonization of the island, development of the Royal Navy, its impact on English Harbour, in conjunction with the fortifications and protection of the island by the Militia and companies of various regiments of the British Army. These developments are set in the context of the various wars in which Britain was involved in from the 17th to the 19th centuries, both in Europe and North America, and which saw the development of the British Empire. Illustrated with b+w & coloured maps, charts, timelines and photographs. VOL II is now available, see separate title record Military Complexes of Antigua, Vol II.

This book outlines the geology, geography and history of Antigua with special emphasis on the French invasion of 1666.

Most people know Antigua as a Caribbean island paradise in the West Indies popular with tourists. The island has a long and rich history associated firstly with Great Britain during the 17th and 18th centuries when it was the HQ of the Royal Navy's Leeward Island's fleet. In the 20th century Antigua became one of the island bases to host air forces of the US Army and Navy. This association with the United States continued from the 1950s until 2015 when various electronic listening posts were established on the island. Volume II continues the history of the island's military complexes from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. Newly released September 2017, Volume II continues on from Vol I of The Military Complexes of Antigua which covered the period 1632-1900. This newest volume describes the impact that both World Wars and the Cold War have had on Antigua. World War I did not materially affect this island in the sense that no major military or naval bases were located there and the manpower contribution to the war effort was limited. World War II however was very different. Two major U.S. bases , Coolidge AFB and Crabbs NAS were constructed on the western and eastern sides of Parham harbour on lands that were leased to the United States by Britain for 99 years (1941-2040). These both played an important part in combatting the U boat problem and controlling the threat posed by the Vichy French fleet in Martinique. This important military association with the United States continued after the end of the war. An underwater listening station (SOSUS) , a missile tracking facility (ER), a manned space tracking station (Dow Hill) and a starlab project have all been located on Antigua at various times between the 1950s and 2015. Back pocket of book contains a folded 18" x 20" plan of the basic layout of Coolidge , A.F.B., B.W.I. See separate title record for Vol. I Military Complexes of Antigua. Signed by Author.
