Review
... a splendid production enhanced by many excellent photographs. (The Bulletin of the Military Historical Society )

Splendid ... Written with clarity and panache, it is hugely informative, at once combining narrative history, thematic reassessment, and encyclopedic reference ... Richly illustrated with photographs, paintings and maps, the book will have wide appeal. (Andrew Porter, Times Literary Supplement )

Wilcox's command of the archival sources is breathtaking, combing repositories throughout Britain, Australia, South Africa and Zimbabwe, the footnotes a testimony to his diligence. (History )
