Right after Japan’s Pearl Harbor sneak attack and Germany’s declaration of war, America had no effective naval or air defenses against enemy warships and submarines closely prowling her shorelines. As Japan shelled California and Germany sunk ships off Atlantic beaches, invasion by bloodthirsty savages was anxiously feared. During those frightening days, the Coast Artillery manned the front lines. Focusing on the defense of Delaware Bay, Delaware’s Ghost Towers describes the big guns, spotting towers, targeting processes, and service of soldiers responsible for protecting citizens and the American homeland. Profusely illustrated with photos, diagrams, and maps expressly drawn for the book.
