A pioneering work in British military history, originally published
in 1972, this book is both scholarly and entertaining. Although the
book concentrates on a single institution, it illuminates a much
wider area of social and intellectual change. For the Army the
importance of the change was enormous: in 1854 there was neither a
Staff College nor a General Staff, and professional education and
training were largely despised by the officers: by 1914 the College
could justly be described as 'a school of thought' while the
officers it had trained were coming to dominate the highest posts
in Commands and on the General Staff.
