The Soldier in Modern Society

Originally published in 1972, Colonel Baynes's book begins by examining the ways in which armies can be used, and then turns to more specific issues connected with the employment of the British Army in the modern world. He summarises what the British Army has accomplished since 1945 and how its strength has varied.
