Product Description
Product Description
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.
About the Author
Mike Osborne was the Regional Co-ordinator for the eastern counties Defence of Britain Project. He has also worked on publications covering twentieth-century defences more specifically in the East Midlands and Cambridgeshire.
