Which intelligence officer turned the tide of World War One in the Middle East after being initially rejected by the Army for being too small? Find out the answers to these questions and more in this celebration of the UK's land force. From the heroes, special forces and famous campaigns and battles that make up the British Army's impressive history, through to the remarkable people who serve in her ranks today, this fact-packed book celebrates the achievements and ongoing importance of the UK's land force. Exploring its ground, air support and amphibious capabilities, it also tracks the development of the skills, weaponry and equipment that have been necessary to keep the Army battle-ready and able to face the challenges of the day.
