About this audiobook
War, Diplomacy, and the Armed Forces explores how Victorian Britain defended its empire, managed European rivalries, and adapted its military institutions to the demands of a changing world. From the strategy of the European balance of power to the global reach of the Royal Navy, from the hardships of the Crimean War to the shocks of India, Afghanistan, Zululand, and Sudan, this book examines the conflicts that tested British confidence and reshaped imperial policy. It also follows the transformation of military medicine, the professionalization of the army, and the uneasy diplomacy of Britain's 'splendid isolation'. This volume reveals the courage, ambition, failures, and contradictions behind Britain's armed power in the age of Queen Victoria.
