While David French was at university in California, his father was posted to Ethiopia by the World Bank.

Army, Empire, and Cold War: The British Army and Military Policy, 1945-1971
ISBN: 9780199548231 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The veterans of the Fourteenth Army who fought in Burma between 1942 and 1945 called themselves 'the forgotten army'. But that appellation could equally well be applied to the whole of the British army after 1945. Histories of Britain's post-war defence policy have usually focused on how and why Britain acquired a nuclear deterrent. David French takes a new look at these policies by placing the army centre-stage. Drawing on archival sources that have hardly been used by historians, he shows how British governments tried to create an army that would enable them to maintain their position as a...

Military Identities: The Regimental System, the British Army, and the British People C.1870-2000
ISBN: 9780199541058 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The regimental system has been the foundation of the British army for three hundred years. This iconoclastic study shows how it was refashioned in the late nineteenth century, and how it was subsequently and repeatedly reinvented to suit the changing roles that were forced upon the army.
Based upon a combination of official papers, private papers and personal reminiscences, and upon research in the National Archives, regimental museums and collections, and other depositories, this book challenges the assumptions of both the exponents and detractors of the system. The author, David French,... The regimental system has been the foundation of the British army for three hundred years. This iconoclastic study shows how it was refashioned in the...

ISBN: 9780198205593 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. - Uses previously unavailable archival evidence to challenge earlier theories The popular image of the First World War is dominated by two misconceptions. The first holds that the war was an exercise in futility in which incompetent upper class generals callously sacrificed an entire generation of young men to no good purpose. The second holds that the debate about British strategic policy during the First World War was a gladiatorial contest between brass hats' (generals), and frock coats' (politicians). Historians, denied access for too long to the contemporary records of... - Uses previously unavailable archival evidence to challenge earlier theories The popular image of the First World War is dominated by t... |

The British Way in Warfare 1688 - 2000 (Routledge Revivals)
ISBN: 9781138815438 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1990, this title examines British defence policy from 1688 onwards; the year in which Britain was successfully invaded for the final time, and which marked a generation of warfare that lasted until 1714, during which Britain came to be known as a major European power. David French considers the strategic alliances that formed and changed throughout the period, and tests his hypotheses in light of the varying paradigms of war, and British wartime and peacetime practices.

Raising Churchill's Army: The British Army and the War Against Germany 1919-1945
ISBN: 9780199246304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the first detailed analysis of the combat capability of the British army in the Second World War. It sweeps away the myth that the army suffered from poor morale, and that it only won its battles through the use of 'brute force' and by reverting to the techniques of the First World War. Few soldiers were actively eager to close with the enemy, but the morale of the army never collapsed and its combat capability steadily improved from 1942 onwards.

The British Way in Counter-Insurgency, 1945-1967
ISBN: 9780199587964 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The claim by the Ministry of Defence in 2001 that 'the experience of numerous small wars has provided the British Army with a unique insight into this demanding form of conflict' unravelled spectacularly in Iraq and Afghanistan. One important reason for that, David French suggests, was because contemporary British counter-insurgency doctrine was based upon a serious misreading of the past.
Until now, many observers believed that during the wars of decolonisation in the two decades after 1945, the British had discovered how western liberal notions of right and wrong could be made...
