More recently, scholarship has turned to social and cultural aspects of Empire. The role of the military, however, continues to be largely ignored. Historians have traditionally viewed the military as an arm of the civil power, an institution which did not create policy but faithfully obeyed the directives given to it. These essays show that indeed the military thought for itself: its officers made policy, introduced new strategies and tactics, and utilized the services of local settlers and indigenes to pursue the interests of empire, and the rank and file informed ideas in Great Britain concerning Africa and Africans. Contributors are Edward M. Spiers, Ian F.W. Beckett, Bill Nasson, John Laband, Paul Thompson, Fransjohan Pretorius, Tim Stapleton, Ian van der Waag, James Thomas, Jeffrey Meriwether, and Bruce Vandervort. 410 0$aHistory of warfare ;$vv. 56. 606 $aSoldiers$zAfrica$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSoldiers$zAfrica$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aAfrica$xHistory, Military$y19th century 607 $aAfrica$xHistory, Military$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAfrica$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAfrica$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aSoldiers$xHistory 615 0$aSoldiers$xHistory 676 $a960/.23 701 $aMiller$b Stephen M.$f1964-$01515090 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785418603321 996 $aSoldiers and settlers in Africa, 1850-1918$93750629 997 $aUNINA
