Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the inadequacy of national defense policies in safeguarding the far-reaching geographic expanse of the British Empire and its implications in the advent of an invasion or attack. The author argues that, for Britain, strategically defending both the heart and the network of its vast global territories is a crucial aspect of national defense and security. The author proposes the fortification of Imperial strategic pointsâ"positions that are vital to maintaining open lines of communication, trade, and military assistanceâ"with both military and naval force. By outlining the vulnerabilities of Britain's current defensive approach, the author makes a case for a more comprehensive and coordinated Imperial defense strategy, where each part of the Empire contributes to the defense of the whole, concluding that such a federation and defense system is essential to the safety and integrity of the British Empire.
