Now for the bad news.............
This book, while containing much useful information, is confusingly written. The illustrations are pitiful; appearing to be hand drawn - probably on the back of a beer mat with a dull pencil. The proof-readers did a poor job also. There are many instances of words missing and several grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors. There are no useful maps. Shoddy work like this begs the question of the attention to detail in the content.
I expect this book would be of use to anyone attempting to visit WW2 fortifications in Germany or Czechoslovakia but a casual reader would do better to try one of the books recommended above or "The Maginot Line- Myth and Reality" by Anthony Kemp. Indeed, considering the price of used books, one might get a handful of good reads for the cost of Maginot Imitations.
