The one draw back is that at points it is just rattling off units and locations. While important; it can get bland. Overall; a well-researched and quality addition to the Fortress line-up.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Atlantic Wall was defenseless on D-Day.By Robert BryanI am always impressed by mammoth size of these robust fortifications but rendered helpless by Allied bombardment.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. German defenses of the Western Mediterranean; no the Atlantic CoastBy Te BadaT’s Rating System0 to 5 with 0 the lowest score and 5 the highest and NA for not applicable:Books (nonfiction) Content 3 Coverage of topic 3 Adequacy of descriptions 3 Detail 3 Accuracy 4 References 4 Illustrations 5 Size 5 Detail 4 Captions 4 Sufficient Maps 2 Sufficient Drawings 5 Sufficient Photos 5 Product worth the price 5 (ebook overpriced)Not exactly the Atlantic Wall; this fortification on the Mediterranean was the site of the second invasion of France. The author covers this southern wall that included the Italian coastal defenses of NW Italy. The book is a compilation of material from French and Italian books and the use of some archival material. The coverage jumps around from southern France to Morocco and includes much discussion of the use of French positions more so than the authors other Atlantic Wall book on France. The work is a good summary on what was there and the historic events; but its main strength is the number of photos of the fortifications. The main weakness is a paucity of maps to include sites mentioned in the text . In some cases the sites identified in photos and text are not described sufficiently to locate what they are near when they are not even found on the few maps included. It is a good short reference on what was there; but not as well done as the other two books in the series.
