Download or read book Battleground Sussex written by John Grehan and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its south-eastern tip Sussex is little more than sixty miles from continental Europe and the countys coastline, some seventy-six miles long, occupies a large part of Britains southern frontier. Before the days of Macadam and the Turnpike, water travel could prove more certain than land transportation and the seas that define the borders of our nation aided, rather than deterred, the invader.Though the last successful invasion of Britain took place almost 1,000 years ago, the gently shelving beaches of Sussex have tempted the prospective invader with the promise of both an easy disembarkation and a short and direct route to London the last time being just seven decades ago.As the authors demonstrate, the repeated threat of invasion from the Continent has shaped the very landscape of the county. The rounded tops of the Iron Age hill forts, the sheer walls of the medieval castles, the squat stumps of Martello towers, the moulded Vaubanesque contours of the Palmerstone redoubts and the crouched concrete blocks and bricks of the Second World War pillboxes constitute the visible evidence of Sussexs position on Britains front line.

Book excerpt: A priceless cargo at the bottom of the ocean tempts the brave, and the foolish... In the depths of the Atlantic lies a cargo containing both gold and atomic secrets, upon which a Ukrainian retrieval vessel has sinister designs. They are not the only crew with hope of reaching the stranded treasure, and the race to the bottom is one of unconscionable risk and reward. But in the thrill and adventure of the dive, will they forget that to reach the ocean bed is only half the journey? Full of impeccably convincing technical detail of submarines and sonar surveillance, Final Dive is perfect for fans of Clive Cussler and James Rollins, and shows Fullerton at the top of his considerable form.
