{"product_id":"the-victorians-at-war-ian-beckett-9781852855109","title":"The Victorians at War","description":"The men of the Victorian army ruled a large part of the world. As the visible power behind the greatest empire there had ever been, they were involved in wars and policing wherever British interests demanded it, whether in Canada, the Crimea, Afghanistan or the Sudan. Very small by continental standards, the Victorian army combined a strong sense of tradition with growing professionalism. The variety of tasks it had to undertake gave its officers and men an extraordinary range of challenges and experiences: putting down the Indian Mutiny, fighting in the jungles of West Africa, facing a Zulu impi and Boer sharpshooters, or garrisoning the many outposts of the empire. In The Victorians at War Ian Beckett looks at the men and their leaders from a variety of angles, using particular incidents and battles to show how the army lived and fought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Beckett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 185285510X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781852855109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.74w x 0.89d","brand":"Ian Beckett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46110739726591,"sku":"9781852855109","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed38e5c4-3a15-448b-8ead-915dbb7fb0bf.jpg?v=1725469633","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-victorians-at-war-ian-beckett-9781852855109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
