My interests centre on British military history, especially since the late-nineteenth century. I teach several courses in that area, as well as a general course on British overseas and diplomatic history since 1870. I am currently writing an analysis of British military policy in the post war era, Army, Empire and Cold War: British Military Policy, c 1945 - 1970. Among my recent publications are: - Raising Churchill's army: the British army and the war against Germany, 1919-1945 - 'Doctrine and Organisation in the British Army, 1919 - 1932', (2000), awarded the Arthur Goodzeit Prize by the New York Military Affairs Symposium and the Templer Medal by the Society for Army Historical ResearchHistory Journal, 44 (2) (2001) 497 - 515 - The General Staff: reform and innovation, ed. with B. Holden-Reid (2002), awarded the Templer Medal by the Society for Army Historical Research - 'The mechanisation of the British cavalry between the wars', War in History, 10 (2003) - Military Identities: the Regimental System,the British Army and the British People c 1870 - 2000 (2005), awarded the Templer Medal in 2006. |
