The book "Dictionary of Fortifications" is a comprehensive guide to military defenses throughout history, providing readers with a wealth of information on the various types of fortifications that have been used to protect cities, castles, and other strategic locations from ancient times to the present day. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the design and construction of fortifications, the materials used to build them, and the different types of fortifications that have been used in different parts of the world. It also explores the role of fortifications in shaping the course of history, from the siege of Troy to the Cold War. One of the key themes of the book is the need to study and understand the process of technology evolution, particularly in the context of military defenses. As the author notes, the development of new technologies has consistently changed the nature of warfare, and understanding these changes is essential for developing effective fortifications. For example, the use of gunpowder in the Middle Ages revolutionized siege warfare, making it possible to breach even the strongest fortifications. Similarly, the development of airpower in the 20th century made traditional fortifications obsolete, as planes and missiles could attack targets from above.
Книга «Словарь укреплений» представляет собой исчерпывающее руководство по военной обороне на протяжении всей истории, предоставляя читателям обширную информацию о различных типах укреплений, которые использовались для защиты городов, замков и других стратегических мест с древнейших времен до наших дней. Книга охватывает широкий спектр тем, включая проектирование и строительство укреплений, материалы, используемые для их строительства, и различные типы укреплений, которые использовались в разных частях света. В ней также исследуется роль фортификационных сооружений в формировании хода истории, от осады Трои до холодной войны. Одной из ключевых тем книги является необходимость изучения и понимания процесса эволюции технологий, особенно в контексте военной обороны. Как отмечает автор, развитие новых технологий последовательно меняло характер ведения боевых действий, и понимание этих изменений имеет важное значение для развития эффективных укреплений. Например, использование пороха в средние века произвело революцию в осадной войне, позволив проломить даже самые сильные укрепления. Точно так же развитие воздушной мощи в XX веке сделало традиционные укрепления устаревшими, поскольку самолеты и ракеты могли атаковать цели сверху.
