The Empire and the Army

By J W Fortescue

The Empire and the Army, by Sir John William Fortescue, first published in 1928, is a concise historical survey of the British Army's development alongside the expansion of the British Empire. Tracing its evolution from early militias and the New Model Army to a permanent force, Fortescue examines the major campaigns that shaped Britain's imperial expansion, while emphasising discipline, regimental tradition and the soldier's inheritance.
