Discover a fortified history of the world told through over three thousand years of iconic strongholds with bestselling author of The Templars and Powers and Thrones, Dan Jones.

Castles have been built to defend humanity for millennia – from the walls of Troy and the desert bastion of Krak des Chevaliers in Syria; to Windsor Castle and the Tower of London; to Himeji in Japan and the Maginot Line in the Second World War.

Take a journey through centuries and across continents as Jones reveals an epic story of how humans first came to build fortifications and how they expanded into powerfully capturing our imagination.
