A comprehensive new history of the shaping and performance of the British army during the First World War.
The story of the British Army, from the first standing army in the seventeenth century, via the imperial army of the nineteenth century, the world wars, and the people's army of the twentieth century, through to the much smaller force of the 21st century and the new challenges it faces.
The story of Isandlwana, the battle that shocked the British empire at its zenith, and Rorke's Drift, which immediately followed it and went some way to restoring wounded British pride: how they were fought, how they have been remembered, and what they mean for us today.
