Offering a unique and original perspective on Britain's 'Small
Wars' leadership culture - this title is an essential reading for
serving soldiers and scholars of military studies. It is based on
original archival research. It offers fascinating survey of
counterinsurgency operations - with relevance for today's military
and security. Between 1948 and 1960, the British army conducted
three important counterinsurgency operations in Malaya, Kenya and
Cyprus. During that time, military leaders inspired the evolution
of a distinct organisational culture, known as 'small wars
culture', which affected learning, discipline and attitudes towards
leadership and fellow soldiers. Using a synthesis of organisational
theory and archival research, this book explores how military
leaders embedded and transmitted this particular military
organisational culture within the British army and provides an
analysis of leaders' characteristics, their support networks and
past experiences. This book will be of interest to
counterinsurgency specialists, the British Army and military
historians and sociologists, as well as to serving military forces.
