The book explores the evolution of England's coastal defenses from Roman times to the early years of the 19th century, detailing how various fortifications and military strategies were employed to protect the nation from invaders across the seas. The opening of the work sets the stage by emphasizing the complex and vulnerable nature of England's coastlines, shaped by its insularity and geographical features. It introduces various prehistoric camps and the Roman invasion, highlighting the significant fortresses constructed by the Romans along the eastern and southern coasts of England. These defenses were pivotal for maintaining control and providing a deterrent against invaders, a theme that the author intends to expand on throughout the book as he delves into the historical methods used to fortify the English coast against foreign threats.
