Kent's military heritage is well known because of popular tourist
attractions such as Dover Castle or Chatham Dockyard, but there are also
many lesser-known sites dotted around the county, each with their own
story to tell. Most of the sites included here date from the Second
World War but there are also many military installations from other
eras, from the eerie remains of the towers in the Thames Estuary to the
magnificence of Fort Burgoyne. Kent: Britain's Frontline County examines
the fascinating ways in which Kent has protected and defended Britain
over the centuries. Local author and historian Clive Holden has
carefully documented each of these secret gems and photographed them in
full colour, giving the reader a wonderful insight into a lesser-known
aspect of Kent's proud heritage.
