| الملخص: | The British Army sees itself as politically neutral. Hew Strachan examines its history since 1660 and reveals that this is a facade.

Professor Strachan goes on to show how this involvement is necessary and argues that a genuinely apolitical British Army would be a less effective contributor to the management of Britain's defense |
