Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The Steps to Glory is the first volume in a landmark study of British Army officer commissioning. From the Restoration to the Great War, it explores how class, conflict, and changing doctrine shaped the leaders of Britain's land forces and what that reveals about the enduring nature and demands of military leadership. Have you ever wondered what kind of people seek a commission in the British Army who they are, where they come from, how they are selected, and what training they undergo? Perhaps you've held a commission yourself! How do your experiences compare with those of your predecessors, or differ from those who will follow? The Steps to Glory traces the evolution of British officer commissioning from 1660 to 1914. It examines all routes into Britain's Land Forces, from purchase in the Regular Army to patronage in the East India Company and competitive exams in the British Indian Army, as well as officer entry through the reserves and cadet forces. Drawing on an exceptional, and expansive, range of sources from across the UK and abroad, the authors blend established scholarship with previously unpublished material from The National Archives, National Army Museum, and Imperial War Museum. Their research is further enriched by personal accounts and access to multiple regimental, school and regional collections including full use of the Sandhurst Collection and the library of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. AUTHORS: Simon served in the Army for 42 years joining in 1983 and attended Sandhurst in 1991. He commanded a Personnel Recovery Unit and served as a Deputy President at AOSB. Simon provided chapters for The Darkest Year (Helion, 2022) and London Pride (Helion). He is the chair of his local WFA Branch and sits on the Council of the SAHR. Victoria Carr is a Headteacher with a Doctorate underpinned by three MAs. Vic commissioned into the Intelligence Corps Reserve (2021), is completing a further MA, and is a Senior Research Fellow of the Centre for Army Leadership. 35 colour photos & illustrations, 76 b/w photos & illustrations, 27 tables The Steps to Glory is the first volume in a landmark study into the origins, pathways, and methodologies for commissioning officers into Britains Land Forces. Using archival research and personal accounts from 1660 to July 1914, it reveals how class, conflict, and changing doctrine dictated who could lead Britains soldiers.
