Modern fortification theory and practice from a trusted army academy text

This revised two-part work brings the Royal Military Academy’s perspective up to date with new ideas in permanent fortification, siege planning, and coast defence.

  • Explore detailed guidance on siege operations, mining, and fortress defenses
  • See how coast defence and submarine mines are treated in a modern, integrated approach
