Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. They really are everywhereBy Chris SterlingBill Clements heads the UK-based Fortress Study Group; made of of people fascinated by the history of military architecture; and especially fortification. This volume; a revision of a book first published in 1999 under a slightly different title; is the best single guide to a type of small circular artillery fort that is well-known in Britain and Ireland (hes also done BILLY PITT HAD THEM BUILT about the many towers in Ireland) but which can actually be found in multiple countries. Most were built in the early 19th century; a direct result of the Napoleonic wars. They were also built elsewhere; the very first being a tower built at Mortella Point in Corsica in the late 18th century.Chapters describe and discuss the English towers (many of which survive; a few as museums); those in Spain and Minorca; Ireland; the Channel Islands and Scotland; Canada--even a final chapter on those in America (though they stretch the definition). One chapters discusses projected Martello towers that for one reason or another were never built. Appendices list all remaining Martellos--more than you might think--and detail the artillery they usually mounted. Fascinating stuff; especially the people who built and manned them.
