WEST SUSSEX UNDER ATTACK: ANTI-INVASION SITES 1500-1990

This companion volume to East Sussex Under Attack is the only comprehensive guide to the surviving defences of West Sussex. West Sussex has always been part of Britain’s frontline defence against invasion from Mainland Europe. From the nineteenth Century forts to the pillboxes and gun emplacements of two world wars and the secret structures of the cold war, the evidence of these defences can still be seen. In West Sussex Under Attack local author and archaeologist Chris Butler takes us to each of these sites (over 100 in all), describing its history and what is to be seen today. As well as a range of illustrations there are full directions to the sites and details of access.
