Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents principles and methods for developing fortifications to withstand artillery fire and prevent enemy fleets from entering harbors. It analyzes innovative defense strategies employed during the American Civil War, focusing on the weaknesses of existing fortifications and the need for advancements in coastal defense. The author, an expert in engineering, argues that a scattering of forces across multiple points along a coastline is ineffective and wasteful, advocating instead for concentrated defenses at fewer, strategically important locations. The book highlights the importance of local defense, combining the efficiency of land-based and sea-based batteries with obstructions and torpedoes. It also underscores the need for offensive defense, involving coordinated efforts between the army and navy to prevent enemy landings and establish a counter-offensive. The author's insights provide valuable lessons for modern coastal defense strategies.
