Rezensionen

"a 'who, what, when, where and why' of military events in Britain from the Romans to the present day." (Family Tree Magazine, September 2007)

"Although the chapter titles and subtitles are jokey, the content is solidly descriptive...a very useful one-volume reference book." (Ancestors, November 2007)
