Osprey Fortress 10 : The Maginot Line 1928-1945

The Maginot Line was a massive series of fortifications built by France in the 1930s to defend its borders with Germany and Italy. They are perhaps the most maligned collection of fortifications ever built. Despite being a technological marvel, and were the most sophisticated and complex set of fortifications built up to that time, it failed to save France from crushing defeat in 1940. Yet there are those who argue that it accomplished exactly what it was designed to do. This book provides a concise and informative treatment of the Maginot Line, from North-East France to the Mediterranean. Packed with plans, contemporary and modern images, plus digital artwork, it presents a detailed visual exploration of this famous fortification system. Text by William Allcorn with illustrations by Jeff Vanelle and Vincent Boulanger.
