       learned about the use and abuse of strategic defenses. 
520    A number of nations, conspicuously Israel and the United 
       States, have been increasingly attracted to the use of 
       strategic barriers to promote national defense. In Do Good
       Fences Make Good Neighbors?, defense analyst Brent 
       Sterling examines the historical use of strategic defenses
       such as walls or fortifications to evaluate their 
       effectiveness and consider their implications for modern 
       security. Sterling studies six famous defenses spanning 2,
       500 years, representing both democratic and authoritarian 
       regimes: the Long Walls of Athens, Hadrian's Wall in Roman
       Britain, the Ming Great Wall of China.
