Books in the Routledge Libary Editions: Historical Security series

The twentieth century was dominated by war and by preparations for war in a way that is unparalleled in history. Originally published in 1988, this book highlights key themes of warfare throughout the world and emphasizes the gulf between the theory of war and its practice.

First published in 1976, the theme running through this book is the problem of civil-military relations and how this has been faced in Canada in the 19th century, in the defence of India in the 19th century and in the First World War and post-war period in Great Britain and Hungary.
