Part historical document and part novel, the great architect draws on his own experience in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 to imagine the castle Le Roche-Pont, an ideal defense for France. Emphasizing the importance of artillery and a strong shield of fortresses, this 1876 work influenced French military thinking through two World Wars.
