There is ... a need for a new narrative of the history of the [British] army in the two and a half decades after the Second World War ... This book will try to produce it by placing the history of the post-war army within the wider context of the British strategic culture, by focusing on its ability to achieve the tasks that it was set by successive governments, and by analysing its capacity to generate firing power"--Introduction
