In this account of the British Army from its origins to the Gulf War, Sandhurst historian John Pimlott explores its evolution over the ages, from the Anglo-Saxon militias to the modern volunteer army, focusing on its organization, campaigns and reforms. Special features examine key battles, personalities, weaponry and uniforms, while first-hand accounts evoke some of the most celebrated episodes of British military history. Comprehensive appendices provide details of the regimental make-up of today's Army, including brief regimental histories for the regular Army, the Territorial Army and the Royal Marines. A list of VC winners, with dates of awards and actions, a British Army chronology from 1660 to 1992, and a glossary of ranks, are also included.
