Tungkol sa ebook na ito

Warrior Beacons unveils the hidden roles of lighthouses during wartime, revealing their transformation from simple navigational aids into strategic assets. These sea sentinels played a crucial role in intelligence gathering, coastal surveillance, and even deceptive naval operations. For example, lighthouses were used to monitor enemy ship movements and transmit coded signals to friendly forces, often undetected.

The book highlights how these beacons' strategic locations and the ingenuity of their keepers significantly influenced military strategy. The book explores the evolution of lighthouses from ancient signal fires to sophisticated tools of maritime military history. It uses archival records, lighthouse logs, and personal accounts to illustrate how these structures were adapted for wartime use.

Case studies from conflicts, particularly the World Wars, provide concrete examples of lighthouses' contributions. Warrior Beacons progresses by first establishing the historical context and technology of lighthouses, then delving into their wartime applications for signaling, communication, and misdirection.

By bridging military history, communication technology, and maritime history, this book offers a fresh perspective on coastal defense and the surprising impact of these often-overlooked structures.
