First Published in 1981. The essays collected together in this
volume deal, for the most part, with the two themes which have
seemed to the author the most significant and the most intriguing
in the passage made by the military in Britain from the Victorian
age to World War. The major theme is that of the transition of
military strategy and policy from a preoccupation with the limited,
though by no means undemanding, requirements of a sprawling empire
in an age of diplomatic self-sufficiency to the enormous burdens of
continental involvement in Europe against Germany, as the mass army
replaced the capital fleet in the world's military pecking order.
