English Literature in Transition

This is not a conventional analysis or run of the mill history of the work of the revered poet of the British Empire. The Author is a retired US Marine Corps officer and Academic well known for his authorative studies of the Ottoman Army and its campaigns in Gallipoli and Palestine. He takes the reader inside the poetry and looks outward. I thoroughly enjoyed reading what is a thought provoking study of Kipling’s works that sets out to link the poetry to the experiences of the modern soldier. The unintended benefit is that this perceptive narrative is a collection of ideal research material and background reading for the Battlefield Guide. The pick of the titles reviewed so far this year

Guild of Battlefield Guides

This is a splendid book for a relaxing winter’s evening and highly recommended.

Military Historical Society

... this reviewer found this volume a delightful, well written, informative and (above all), memorable volume, to the extent that it bids fair to become a Standard Reference Work on its subject.
