Into the Jaws of Death: British Military Blunders, 1879-1900

Between the Crimean War and the dawn of the 20th century, the British Army was almost continuously engaged in one corner of the globe or another, in military operations famously characterized by Kipling as the 'savage wars of peace'. The author focuses on defeat and disaster - the occasions when things when badly awry for the British.
