Manchester 1992, Manchester Univ. Press, UK first edition, 6x9, Fine/Fine condition, xiii, 375 pages, illus, notes, bibliog, index. ---------------------------------------------------- This study covers a crucial period in the development of the British Army- which saw the growth of professionalism within the Army, its extensive reform and its heightened prominence at home and overseas. The author provides a thorough analysis of the history, of the army, 1868-1902, and of the relationship between Army and society. First assessing the impact of reforms of army administration during the ministry of Edward Cardwell, Dr Spiers goes on to discuss the social J composition of the officer corps, developments in army education, and the changing status of the military. Other topics covered include the attempts to improve recruiting intake, the popular image of the army, its significance as a peace-keeping force at home and its increased involvement in colonial wars abroad. The book concludes with an examination of the major military campaigns of the period, `the ultimate test' of the Second Boer War, 1899-1902.
