Recenzje

The Imperial Army Project is a masterful study. Douglas E. Delaney skilfully shows how the armies of Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa and India spent four decades developing national armies that were compatible across the British Empire. This interoperability allowed for the efficient combination of military forces during the two world wars. Britain did not, and need not, stand alone. The empire stood together. Indeed, it this comparative approach that makes Delaney's a must-read work.
