Reviews

‘Overall, the authors have made an excellent and well-balanced selection of images to tell the story of England’s military heritage. Their choices go beyond the obvious fortifications to include dockyards, barracks, factories and country houses requisitioned for military use.’ Wayne Cocroft, Industrial Archaeology Review
