Hardback. Condition: Very good. 23 x 29cm 288pp very good hardback in dust jacket detailing fortifications in Switzerland. From the short notes issued by the Federal Minister of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport, Samuel Schmid: 'Our country has a wealth of fortifications, whether they be castles or more modern defences, there…are tangible signs of a defensive structure everywhere. The alpine fortifications - giant labyrinths carved into the rock - are the response to a particular threat during the mid-19th century and demonstrate our strong desire to control our unique geography, namely the various routes through and across the Alps.' Black and white reproductions throughout with French and English text.
