"British Castles" by Charles H. Ashdown is a journey into the world of British fortifications, starting from simple earthworks used by early humans. It shows how these defenses changed over time, becoming more complex and reflecting military strategies and society's needs. The book looks at different types of castles, including those made of stone, and explains how understanding early defense methods is key to understanding later, more complex designs.
