New Book And Lecture On Bermuda Forts

As a part of the BUEI Lecture Series and in concert with the National Museum of Bermuda, a new book on the Defense of Bermuda will be launched at a signing on Thursday, March 22nd.

That will be followed by a lecture at BUEI on the defenses of the western North Atlantic in the Second World War by Terry McGovern, a fortifications expert from the United States and longtime visitor to Bermuda.

The new book is the product of Osprey Publications and is the 112th volume in their popular series on fortifications worldwide and will be sold in Bermuda through the BookMart.

It is authored by Terry McGovern and Edward Harris and includes some dramatic new artwork on what some of the Bermuda fortifications would have looked like at certain periods, especially for several sites where parts of the works have been lost through demolition.
