Description
A history of the British Army since the end of the Cold War, incorporating many firsthand accounts.
...a powerful, brutally honest, soldier’s account of the operational, societal and morale challenges faced by the British Army from the moment the Berlin Wall fell.
…an enjoyable and well researched history. […] It is a must read for anyone with an interest in how the army has continued beyond 1991, and probably should be read by many of ARRSE's old and bold who are still stuck in the cold war.
This is an absorbing analysis of what it was like to serve during the most intense series of operations since the Second World War. […] It is an insightful review fo the cultural shifts, the impact of almost continuous overseas deployment and the disruption created by ever-changing policies.
Andrew Richards provides a thoroughly absorbing account made all the more interesting due to the wide-ranging contributions of men and women who were there, did the jobs, experienced the changes and often have the scars to prove it. An excellent read.
Andrew Richards served 22 years with the Household Cavalry. During his last years of service, he graduated from the Open University with a Bachelor of Arts degree with Honours in Humanities with History and Classical Studies. Since retiring from the Army, he has written both fiction and non-fiction titles. His first non-fiction book, The Flag, was published by Casemate in 2016.
