Reviews

When things go well, Britain's armed forces are applauded for their professionalism. When things go wrong they are often portrayed as institutions lacking any agency of their own, and operating entirely at the whim of politicians. That view is simplistic, and Paul Dixon's book is an important and necessary corrective.--Simon Akam, author of The Changing of the Guard - The British Army since 9/11 Paul Dixon's new book exposes the extraordinary belligerence of the British state, due in large part to the slow rise of influence wielded by the military elite over democratic politics. It is an extraordinary history and a warning to citizens of the world today.--Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck University of London
