More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
From cold war bunkers to Civil War sieges to Roman forts - Britain is littered with sites of military significance, many of which have never been studied. This book shows the amateur enthusiast how to unlock the drama of a battlefield in his or her own area. It explains how to read a military map and apply it to the ground, how to interpret the clues in the landscape and where to find the evidence. The authors take some case studies from further afield - from the Somme, Normandy and the Falklands. These ensure that the book is also an invaluable companion to anyone with an interest in bringing military history to life.

Format:Paperback
...why do I give this 5 stars? Because even someone like me with no interest in archaeology found this book to be extremely readable. Lynch takes a very interesting slant on this subject and makes it accessible. The war angle is fascinating and I learnt small details about stuff that would otherwise never have occurred to me.
A thoroughly brilliant book from start to finish. Recommended.
