Abstract: | Justifiably, when the British first came to Malta, they were overawed by the massiveness of our fortifications. Unlike the Knights, however, they did not allow themselves to be deluded into a state of false security by the conspicuously deterrent through inanimate presence of those mighty complexes of defense works which practically surround the whole of the Maltese coast. |
