About This Item
This is the story of what Kipling called the "savage wars of peace." Throughout Queen Victoria's long reign there was not a single year in which somewhere in the world British soldiers were not fighting for her and her Empire. Byron Farwell's latest book records the fascinating story of these little-known wars, and of the men who fought them. Continuous warfare became an accepted way of life in the Victorian era, and in the process the size of the British Empire quadrupled. 394 pages. B&W illustrations, list of illustrations, list of medals, maps, acknowledgments, Appendix I: The British Regiment; Appendix II: The Little Wars; Appendix III: Some British Orders; bibliography, index. A fine copy.
