  Britain, though technically at peace since World War II, has fought in a dozen wars in that time. Charles Allen draws political, social and moral conclusions from interviews with a wide-ranging, cross-section of the survivors . He covers all ranks, services and areas of conflict, from the struggles in Palestine in 1948 to the Cyprus emergency of 1955 and the recent fighting in Northern Ireland and the Falklands.
