Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Principles and Problems of Imperial Defence I have been induced to write the following pages by some, probably most partial, friends, who have assured me that they would help the study of Imperial defence. It was with considerable hesitation and reluctance that I acceded to such representations, because I. felt that I should have to refer to many topics which could be better dealt with by a sailor. On the other hand, lay the argument that the part our army must play in world warfare was sometimes underrated, and that, though secondary to the navy, its efficiency was still an essential element in the force which secured our safety or existence. Imperial defence, although it cannot be carried out at all without a navy, cannot be accomplished by a navy alone; and, the two services being complementary to one another, it seemed not illogical to endeavour to view them in combination and lay stress on the correlation that exists between them. But that all the armed forces we possess should be regarded as a whole was a view I had long held; and such being my opinion, I had the less difficulty in persuading myself to write. In addition, an even more powerful motive actuated me. A constant examination of the history of past campaigns had impressed on me the value of a habit of examining war, and the preparation for war, from the business point of view.
