Between Peace and War

Meer over het boek

For 180 years, the Royal United Services Institute has been at the heart of British thinking on defence and security. Founded after an 1829 call for a scientific and professional approach to the study of military affairs, the Institute has, in its long history, borne witness to tumultuous international and technological change. Between Peace and War offers a lively and insightful survey of this extraordinary period of British and international history, through the lens of an institution that both reflected and shaped the unfolding British approach to a changing, and often dangerous, world.Dr Damian O'Connor began researching the Royal United Services Institute in 2003 as part of his PhD studies at the University of East Anglia into nineteenth-century British imperial defence policies.
