Sinossi

Castles Razed examines the deliberate destruction of castles in Western Europe from the late medieval period through the early modern era, revealing how razing these structures served as a vital tool for political control and state formation.The book argues that castle ruins are not simply remnants of time, but active symbols of shifting power dynamics and challenges the romanticized view of castles by demonstrating how their destruction was a calculated effort to consolidate power and suppress dissent.One intriguing fact explored is how the rise of gunpowder warfare rendered these once-impregnable fortresses strategically obsolete, leading to their intentional dismantling.The book also investigates how these deliberate acts of castle destruction reshaped the physical landscape and historical memory, influencing architectural trends and national identity.

 
Focusing on the motives and methods behind the razing, the book explores key examples of castle demolitions, analyzing the political motivations, military tactics, and social consequences.The study progresses by first establishing the significance of castles, then diving into specific case studies of deliberate destruction, and finally examining the aftermath of this destruction on national identity and architectural trends.

Britain's Secret Defences:...

Andrew Chatterton

The narrative surrounding Britain's anti-invasion forces has often centered on "Dad's Army"-like characters running around with pitchforks, on unpreparedness and sense of inevitability of invasion and defeat. The truth, however, is very different. 
 
 
 
Top-secret, highly trained civilian volunteers were being recruited as early as the summer of 1940. Had the Germans attempted an invasion they would have been countered by saboteurs and guerrilla fighters emerging from secret bunkers, and monitored by swathes of spies and observers who would have passed details on via runners, wireless operators, and ATS women in disguised bunkers. Alongside these secret forces, the Home Guard were also setting up their own "guerrilla groups," and SIS (MI6) were setting up post-occupation groups of civilians to act as sabotage cells, wireless operators, and assassins had the Nazis taken control of the country. 
 
 
 
The civilians involved in these groups understood the need for absolute secrecy and their commitment to keeping quiet meant that most went to their grave without ever telling anyone of their role. There has been no official and little public recognition of what these dedicated men and women were willing to do for their country in its hour of need, and after over eighty years of silence the time has come to highlight their remarkable role.
