For years, writers had been conditioning Britons to expect war with Germany and exciting their fear of invasion. By 1914, the military establishment was sceptical of total reliance on the Royal Navy. This book describes the measures taken to resist attack on the British Home Front, which included a large Home Army and stronger fixed defences.

Autorenporträt
Dr Mike Osborne's interest in fortification began with childhood visits to castles, and has developed over the years to include all aspects of the topic, from Iron-Age forts to Cold War bunkers. He was a volunteer-coordinator for the Defence of Britain Project, recording the military structures of the twentieth-century, and, after a thirty-year-career in education, took early retirement. Since then, he has produced nearly twenty books on topics that range from Civil War sieges and fortifications, to drill halls and twentieth-century military structures. He has also written a series of county surveys of defences, as well as the best-selling Defending Britain.
