From the First Gulf War in Iraq to the ongoing war in Afganistan
the British Army has undergone massive changes in everything from
mission capabilities to equipment.
Fully illustrated and written by an insider, this engaging book
traces the major transformations in British Army doctrine,
organization, structures, units, uniforms and equipment, from the
end of the Cold War in the 1990s up to today. Since the end of the
Cold War in 1991, the British Army has undergone deep and
widespread changes, including the creation of new units and
capabilities, as well as cuts and amalgamations. It has digested
these changes while simultaneously fighting in two major
expeditionary wars (one of them ongoing) and in several lesser
overseas deployments. While small by superpower standards, it
continues to "punch above its weight," and is unquestionably the
most experienced (indeed, virtually the only experienced) fighting
force in Europe. It remains the only NATO ally which the USA can
rely on to contribute significant combat forces for expeditionary
campaigns.
