“During the First and Second World Wars, Britain’s landscape was transformed by a wide variety of military constructions – pillboxes, anti-tank obstacles, coastal batteries, bombing decoys, radar stations, airfield, and many more. The remains of those works are all around us. They are also under threat. Fifty years after the end of World War Two, coastal erosion, agriculture, redevelopment and neglect are destroying them at an alarming rate. This illustrated practical handbook provides an introductory guide the recognition and interpretation of Britain’s wartime archaeology.”
