The Aerial Photographs Shown In This Book Add A New Dimension To Our Viewing Pleasure- The Third Dimension. Most Of Us Have To Be Content With Two Dimensional Pictures Taken At The Ground Level. Twenty Six Main Forts Of Western India Have Been Selected, Taking Into Consideration Their Strength, Location And Their Place In History And Culture. They Have Been Arranged According To Their Location-Island Forts, Coastal Forts And Inland Forts, In Each Case Starting From The North And Proceeding South. The Photographs Show The Ruins Of The One Great And Formidable Forts. This Is Due To The Ravages Of Time As Well As The Policy Of The East India Company Which Supplanted The Marathas In 1818 As The Paramount Power In India. The New Masters Of India`S Destiny Destroyed Almost Every Single Fort In Western India As They Did Not Want To Leave Any Focal Point Where Freedom Would Flourish Again. Yet These Ruins Can Transport One To Those Days Gone By And Their Pristine Glory. One Only Needs A Feel For History And Some Imagination. The Forts Are An Integral And Important Part Of Medieval History And Their Ruins Are Our Priceless Heritage, To Be Preserved And Cherisged. However, There Are So Many Forts, Big And Small, That Physical Preservation Of All Of Them Will Be Well Nigh Impossible. But They Can Certainly Be Preserved In Print In A Kind Of A Gazetteer, Which Will Have All Available Information About Their History, Location, Layout, And Other Details. Photographs Form An Important Part Of This Process And This Volume Is A Small Step In That Direction. An Introduction Takes The Readers On A Short Journey To The Forts And The Climate Of History In Which They Functioned. Each Photograph Has A Brief Text Placed Opposite, Giving Some Details About The Fort. At The Same Time It Should Be Noted That A Photograph, However Good, Cannot Be A Substitute For A Visit To The Fort. And If A Traveller Chooses His Time And Route With Care, The Ruins Will Unfold, Vividly And Tantalisingly The Ambience Of The Fort And Those By-Gone Days.

As centers for defense and bases for attack since ancient times, fortifications are a crucial aspect of military history. Indeed, as Jeremy Black shows, the history of fortifications is a global history of humanity itself. Moreover, their remains offer a still potent, often dramatic testimony to the past, notably through the strength of the sites, the power of the works, and the vast resources they required. This compelling book explores not only the history of fortifications themselves, but also the real and potential threat to them posed by siegecraft. Tracing the interaction of attack and defense over time, Black situates the evolution of fortifications within the wider development of governments, societies, and cultures. Moreover, his examination of the future of these installations, as well as of potential methods of destroying them, only reaffirms their omnipresence in human history—and their continued importance. Fortifications are not simply relics of the past, but rather elements fundamental to military and social interaction across the world today.

Ever since humans began to live together in settlements they have felt the need to organise some kind of defence against potentially hostile neighbours. Many of the earliest city states were built as walled towns, and during the medieval era, stone castles were built both as symbols of the defenders' strength and as protection against potential attack. The advent of cannon prompted fortifications to become lower, denser and more complex, and the forts of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries could appear like snowflakes in their complexity and beautiful geometry. Without forts, the history of America could have taken a very different course, pirates could have sailed the seas unchecked, and Britain itself could have been successfully invaded. This book explains the history of human fortifications, and is beautifully illustrated using photographs, plans, drawings and maps to explain why they were built, their various functions and their immense historical legacy in laying the foundations of empire.
