Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the pressing military concerns of the British Empire in the late 19th century, offering a thought-provoking analysis of the nation's defense strategies and proposing innovative reforms. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, with Prussia's rise and the lessons learned from the Crimean War, the author meticulously examines the shortcomings of the existing military structure. Central to the discussion is the urgent need for a robust and readily available reserve force to bolster the British Army's capabilities both at home and abroad. The author contends that the current reliance on the Militia as a reserve is inadequate, advocating instead for a dedicated force of trained soldiers who can be swiftly mobilized in times of crisis. This proposal is accompanied by a compelling argument for a temporary reduction in the length of service for regular soldiers, a measure designed to attract a wider pool of recruits and expedite the formation of a substantial reserve. Drawing upon historical examples and insightful comparisons with contemporary military powers, the book explores the potential for significant cost savings and increased efficiency through the strategic deployment of mounted riflemen, particularly in the context of India. The author's vision extends beyond mere numerical strength, emphasizing the importance of mobility, rapid concentration of forces, and adaptability to evolving warfare technologies. Ultimately, this book serves as a clarion call for a comprehensive reevaluation of British military policy, urging the adoption of a more flexible and forward-thinking approach to ensure the nation's security and continued influence on the world stage.
