Reviews

"The book ... should please anyone with an interest in the evolution of fortifications."--The Society for Army Historical Research "It is a rare achievement for a historian to match his account of the history of a major site in terms of its original significance with an equally good study of the site as the subject of historic preservation."--Russell F. Weigley
