Reader Reviews
I've had a long-standing interest in the coastal artillery, which began when I was an artilleryman myself, exploring the wreckage of former coastal artillery installations in Hawaii. Given this interest, I purchased this title shortly after I found it. This title delivers what it promises, serving as a tribute to the soldiers of the 261st Coast Artillery regiment and explaining their sacrifices, fears, organization, purpose, equipment, and methods. The text is well-written (not too heavy on the technicalities) and balances all of these purposes, and I enjoyed it. I was a bit disappointed by the brevity of the book and was left wanting more on the topic...more pages, more bases, more units, and more history. The author deserves our admiration and applause for self-publishing (as I understand it, Authorhouse is a self-publishing house) a book on a topic he clearly loves. While the text is compelling, some of the graphics, maps, and photographs within the text could benefit from higher production quality. As someone who has at least once in his own life pondered writing a book of some sort on this very topic, I owe a debt of gratitude to the author for sharing the Coastal Defense Studies Group (www.cdsg.org) website with me. It is an extremely informative site and appears to be a great organization for those very interested in this topic. I enjoyed this title and would recommend it to those interested in a brief look at Delaware's WWII coastal defense.
