The author, John H. G. R. Galbraith, examines the evolution of fortifications from stone walls to steel and concrete structures, highlighting the technological advancements that made these developments possible. The book covers the historical context of fortifications, including their purpose and significance, and how they were used in various conflicts throughout history. It also explores the impact of these fortifications on European society and culture, as well as their role in shaping military strategy and tactics. The book begins by discussing the early fortifications built from stone, which were often simple and ineffective against modern weaponry. These fortifications were replaced by more advanced structures made of steel and concrete, which offered greater protection and durability. The author explains how these new materials and technologies allowed for the construction of more complex and sophisticated fortifications, such as trenches, bunkers, and underground tunnels. He also discusses the use of machine guns and other weapons that rendered traditional fortifications obsolete.
