This book provides a concise introduction to the design, development and purpose of American coastal defenses in the \"modern\" period (1885-1950), a period defined by the use of concrete, steel, and powerful breech-loading rifles. Packed with period and modern-day images of the fortifications, and written by a leading expert, it covers the emplacements, weaponry, equipment, and people that defended their country in times of great change and uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52098723217696,"sku":"NEW1841769223","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91udtHGun_L.jpg?v=1785795237","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/american-coastal-defenses-1885-1950-fortress-1841769223","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
