Britannia's Shield: Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Hutton and the
Late-Victorian Imperial Defence presents an in-depth, international
study of imperial land defence prior to 1914. The book makes sense
of the failures, false starts and successes that eventually led to
more than 850,000 men being despatched from the Dominions to
buttress Britain's Great War effort - an enormous achievement for
intra-empire military cooperation. Craig Stockings presents a vivid
portrayal of this complex process as it unfolded throughout the
late-Victorian Empire through a biographical study of
Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Hutton. As a true soldier of the
Empire, the difficulties and dramas that followed Hutton's career
at every step - from Cairo to Sydney, Aldershot to Ottawa, and
Pretoria to Melbourne - provide key insights into imperial defence
and security planning between 1880 and 1914. Richly illustrated,
Britannia's Shield is an engaging and entertaining work of rigorous
scholarship that will appeal to both general readers and academic
researchers.
