Inhaltsangabe

History of Education, Vol 29, No 2, March 2000
"Penn"s major contribution in this book is his detailed examination of the
political processes surrounding the militarist campaign that "targeted
schools" ... One of the significant contributions Penn makes is to our
understanding of the persistence of militarism as an ideology underpinning
the practices of physical education in British schools."
Albion
"addresses an important and hitherto neglected area of education history
with skill and insight"
History of Education
"an engaging story of conflicting ideologies, shifting alliances and
contestation of the form and substance of aspects of school practice..
Provides a clear illustration of the ways in which school practices are
embedded in broader public discourses and so of the complexity of the
relationship between school and society.
