British Army

Buyers of military history nowadays want their subjects personalised, with firsthand accounts, which is why Stalingrad by Anthony Beevor, and Max Arthur's Last Post were such hits with the public. The Imperial War Museum has taken this onboard and decided to open up its archive to celebrate definitive illustrated histories of the British forces over the past century of modern warfare. Packed with personal testimonies, memorabilia, and tributes to the key figures of each services history, they will be fully endorsed by the Imperial War Museum, and fronted by noted historian Sir Max Hastings.
