Synopsis
The need for such a small island to defend itself bravely and skilfully has given rise in Britain to one of the greatest military traditions of any country in the world. Experts and enthusiasts in the field of military history and culture examine 40 military figures, events and wartime objects that shaped and inspired Britain's politics, social activity and even entertainment. Pioneering leaders like Alfred the Great and Boadicea sit alongside the spectacular bravery of the Spanish Armada's defeat and the Charge of the Light Brigade, and the pride and motivation given to soldiers by figures such as Lawrence of Arabia and Winston Churchill. Whether triumph, disaster or send-up of the situation, British Military Greats celebrates the central importance of the forces and wartime activity to Britain's identity.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. ### British Military Greats 2004 ### ~#~ THIS BOOK: Classified as AS NEW: This is a 2004 FIRST EDITION, clean and tidy, as new as you could get. ## ## What or who would you nominate as the all-time greats of British military history? Lord Nelson? The Battle of Britain? The Dreadnought? This book is a fascinating roll-call of many of the iconic figures, moments and successes of British military life from the earliest times to the present day. In a series of beautifully illustrated essays, some of our leading writers take a lively, personal and often provocative look at Britain's greatest military achievements and some of the people, institutions and inventions that made them happen. Among the military 'greats' in these pages are individuals, such as the Duke of Wellington, Winston Churchill and Florence Nightingale. There are significant engagements such as Rorke's Drift and the defeat of the Spanish Armada. There are even essays on groundbreaking military developments such as the longbows of Agincourt, the regimental system and the tank.## This isn't meant to be a definitive list. Given the extraordinary variety and achievements of British military life in the last millennium and more, how could it be? But from Marlborough to Montgomery, from the sinking of the Bismarck to the Charge of the Light Brigade, from the SAS to the SOE, it represents the nominations of some of our best-known writers, historians and commentators for the title of military great. It celebrates, without jingoism, some of the most glorious pages in the annals of Britain's 'history.## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
