Book excerpt: Artillery at the Golden Gate tells the story of the "concrete soldiers," the US Army coast artillerymen who manned the huge seacoast rifles and underwater minefields guarding the San Francisco harbor during World War II. Artillery at the Golden Gate recreates the atmosphere of wartime San Francisco and recounts in vivid detail the life of the Army coast artillerymen stationed in a world of full-alerts and combat discipline within sight of San Francisco. Based on interviews with veterans and supported by official records, press accounts, and over 170 historical photographs, this book paints a rich mosaic of memorable Army personalities and their intriguing experience in the wartime port city.

Download or read book Defenses of Pearl Harbor and Oahu 1907–50 written by Glen Williford and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-20 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the 20th century, the military importance of the Hawaiian Islands became clear. Oahu in particular was a key bastion in projecting America's military power in the Pacific. The island was turned into a military fortress and yet it also became the site of one of America's greatest defensive failures, the Japanese attack of December 7, 1941. By the end of World War II, the harbor itself was the most heavily defended in the world, and the island had earned the sobriquet "Fortress Oahu". This title documents the development of the coastal, air and land defense systems that served to protect Pearl Harbor and Honolulu from 1907 to 1950, and seeks to understand why these failed at a critical point.

Download or read book New York City's Harbor Defenses written by Leo Polaski and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great seaport of New York, one of the largest and busiest natural harbors in the world, was defended for nearly four centuries by a series of more than sixty coastal fortifications. These fortifications were occupied by the Dutch, then the British, and finally, the Americans, who after winning their independence, needed to protect the country they had established. New York City's Harbor Defenses, with more than two hundred vintage photographs, reveals the unusual history of these coastal and island forts and tells of the men and women who served at them during peacetime and while the country was at war. Most of these fortifications are no longer active, but they can still be visited. Gone are the mighty guns, some of which could fire a twenty-four-hundred-pound shell a distance of twenty-six miles. Many of the buildings constructed during national emergencies have been leveled, and the millions of soldiers who lived, trained, and served their country there are absent. This visual history shows what once were the extensive fortifications that defended New York City's harbor.

Download or read book WWII Harbor Defenses of San Diego written by H. R. (Bart) Everett and published by . This book was released on 2024-08 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a detailed history of the harbor defenses of San Diego on the West Coast of United States. The heavily illustrated work tells the story of these extensive fortifications for this important naval harbor which reached their apex during World War II. Drawing on years of in-person research while assigned to these former defenses and many primary sources, this book describes the various fortifications built by the US Army between 1896 and 1945. It also chronicles the use of these former defenses during the post-war period, Cold War, and continuing to today's use. This book gives the reader an unparalleled view to the current state of the San Diego's former harbor defenses. As nearly all these military reservations are still in use by the US Navy, access to many of the former fortifications are restricted. The author's access to these structures gives the reader an unparalleled view of their current use by the US Navy and the US National Park Service. This book is as close as the general public will get to visiting these structures. This book is simultaneously a technical history (the weapon systems and their supporting infrastructure) and a guide book (where the former defenses are located and their current status/ownership). This 538-page, hardcover book is thoroughly supported with footnotes, a bibliography, three appendixes, and over 950 illustrations (black and white photographs, maps, and plans for many of the structures). The author, Commander (Ret.) H.R. (Bart) Everett, USN, has invested over 30 years of research into the WWII Harbor Defenses of San Diego , making it the primary source on these historical defenses and a must for any serious student of these fortifications and the fascinating military history of San Diego.
