Good history, maps, photos, and an extensive list of anti-aircraft sites built in the US after WWII. It's a good overview of the national scope and history of AA missiles and associated issues.

I had a few issues with its organization, but that's probably just me. And anyone purchasing this book should be aware that the lists (locations, maps, lists of units, clues about armament) make up the bulk of the book. I definitely found those interesting, and spent two or three hours just studying show more those pages.

I learned stuff, and found that learning interesting. But my main concern--how the communications systems built to support the overall organization actually fit into the overall structure--were barely mentioned. So this former Army TTY operator still doesn't really understand how his job worked within the system. show less
