Synopsis
A clear, strategic look at how nations defend an empire when every transport and coast matters.
In this excerpt, Arthur James Balfour discusses the real-world challenges of defending India and the British Isles.

- The changing balance between battleships, cruisers, and submarines.
- Why railways and logistics matter for defending distant territories.
- The practical limits of quick military action in difficult terrains.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book by a politician involved in British Colonial affairs offers a unique historical perspective on British imperial defense strategy in the mid-1900s. The work discusses the evolution of British military policy in response to technological and geopolitical changes, including the rise of submarine warfare. Most notably, the author contends that concerns over an invasion of Great Britain are overstated, while the defense of India is a considerably more pressing concern. Grounding their conclusions in analysis, the author and his committee advocate for the strategic disposition of defensive forces within British territories. The work provides an invaluable resource for students of military and political history seeking to understand the evolution of imperial strategy within a nation grappling with an evolving world order and a rapidly changing military landscape.
