Forty experts give their takes on the triumphs, tragedies, heroes, and icons that have given Britain one of the richest military histories in the world. The subjects feature pioneering leaders such as Alfred the Great and Boudicca; spectacular feats of bravery (the sinking of the Armada and the Charge of the Light Brigade); feats of high-level intelligence (the decoding of Enigma during World War II); and inspirational figures like Florence Nightingale and Winston Churchill. Every one has played an important role in shaping British society-and the stellar array of contributors, including Len Deighton and Ian Drury, celebrate their importance.
