The contributors note how the past has helped shape attitudes prevalent in the Army. They then go on to consider the key areas of current controversy - the pressure on the army caused by changes in society, the Army's "right to be different", race, homosexuality and gender. The final part of the book considers the possible impact of social change on the fighting effectiveness of the Army. | |
