This book examines the landscape archaeology of the Second World War in
the front line of Britain's defenses against invasion. This location was
the setting for important exercises in the lead-up to D-Day. This
important new study considers how this area was transformed in the
course of the conflict by synthesizing an extensive range of sources,
including the physical remains of defenses and training, aerial
photographs, the war diaries of military units on the coast, oral
history and artistic representations. What emerges is the most detailed
account to date of a coastal landscape during the Second World War.
