This history traces the evolution of the armaments and fortifications that came under the command of Fort MacArthur, with a focus on those that dotted the coastal hillsides of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and San Pedro, California. It also provides precise locations of the remnants of these fortifications to help readers explore for themselves. This 4th edition corrects minor errors, provides additional information on many of the weapons described, especially the Nike Hercules missile, and includes new photographs and drawings throughout. The Absaroka incident material has been expanded and the Battle of Los Angeles has been added. There are now short biographies of the Army officers after whom many of the batteries were named.Finally, there is a journal article describing the journey of one of Fort MacArthur's railway guns across country prepared by the captain responsible for the shipment. Book format is 8.5" x 11", B&W interior.
