Inhalt/Klappentext
No Army in the world is quite like the British Army, with its tribal systems of regimental loyalties and customs. This riveting account of life in today's Army includes virtually everything - Guardsmen on basic training, barrack routine, nights on the town, patrolling the streets in Northern Ireland, parties in the sergeants' mess, the impossibility of normal family life, officer selection, ambition and failure on the way to the top, and the Byzantine world of the Ministry of Defence.
This paperback edition covers both the end of the Cold War and the Army's success in the Gulf. It describes an Army, over-loyal to the past, now anxiously waiting to know its future and which regiments will disappear. Granted unprecedented access at every level and writing with an insider's understanding and an outsider's freshness of view, ex-Army officer Antony Beevor has produced a candid, witty and definitive study of the British Army today,
