British Military and Naval
Intelligence on the Eve of the First

Matthew S. Seligmann, University of

scholarship that is of particular value
for intelligence specialists but also of
more general importance for its
rejection of the revisionist case that
the decision for war in 1914 was
mistaken and based on a spurious
German threat.’ History

Military Identities
The Regimental System, the British Army, and
the British People c.1870-2000
David French, University College London
‘an exemplary study of the British Army in the
Second World War… his book is meticulously
scholarly’ Max Hastings, The Sunday Telegraph
The regimental system has been the foundation of the British army for
three hundred years. This iconoclastic study shows how it was refashioned
in the late nineteenth century, and how it was subsequently and repeatedly
reinvented to suit the changing roles that were forced upon the army.

Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson
A Political Soldier
Keith Jeffery, Queen’s University, Belfast
‘An admirable biography which does justice to
its subject without glossing over his faults and
limitations…impressive’ TLS
Henry Wilson was the only British field marshal ever to die in action, killed
on his own doorstep in 1922 by two IRA men (one of whom had a wooden
leg). Wilson was a flamboyant, maverick Irishman, at the centre of affairs
during the First World War years and after, recording everything in his
wildly indiscreet diary. Using a wide range of official and private sources, this
is the first modern biography of this controversial and misunderstood figure.
