Summary

Shetland is well known for its stunning landscape, viking remains and spectacular wildlife, but less so for its involvement in the Second World War. This book reveals why Lerwick was such an important part of Britain's defence and what was put in place to deter a German invasion, which was a distinct possibility during the first half of the war. It provides a photographic record of the WW2 remains and buildings and their roles, together with a few stories from the period.
