About this ebook
""Coastal Defenses"" explores the historical strategies and technologies nations have used to protect their coastlines. From ancient forts to modern missile batteries, the book examines how these defenses evolved and influenced military and naval history. Interestingly, naval mines, often overlooked, played a significant role in shaping maritime conflicts, demonstrating that effective defense isn't solely about advanced technology. The book delves into coastal forts, naval minefields, and missile batteries, highlighting their development and strategic use. It reveals that the success of any coastal defense system depends on its strategic integration and adaptability, not just technological sophistication. By drawing on archival documents, military reports, and firsthand accounts, the book provides a comprehensive look at the interplay between military strategy, technological advancement, and geopolitical power. Each chapter progresses chronologically, first establishing core concepts. It then explores the evolution of coastal forts, followed by naval mines and the rise of missile batteries. This structured approach allows readers to understand the changing nature of coastal defense over time and its lasting impact on national sovereignty.
