challenging informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

A very timely book.  This book lays out in detail what happened to the British army between 1918 and 1940, and it's parallel's with many of the most recent international events are stark indeed. A must read for policy makers as well as historians. History really does repeat itself. It's important that the right lessons are learned. Excellent.
