A new study of a critical period in the history of the British Army. Details how society, technology, the character of conflict, and the British Army itself have all changed; from a low point in the 1970s, to the Army's war fighting capability increased in the 1980s, to operations in Kuwait in 1991, through to Afghanistan in 2001 and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Draws not only on personal experience, but also on a very wide range of written sources complemented by interviews to provide a new interpretation of this period that challenges the existing narratives. Contains 8-page plate section in color and black and white.
