Download or read book Victoria s Generals written by Edited by Steven J Corvi and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2009-09-19 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The senior British generals of the Victorian era - men like Wolseley, Roberts, Gordon and Kitchener - were heroes of their time. As soldiers, administrators and battlefield commanders they represented the empire at the height of its power. But they were a disparate, sometimes fractious group of men. They exhibited many of the failings as well as the strengths of the British army of the late nineteenth-century. And now, when the Victorian period is being looked at more critically than before, the moment is right to reassess them as individuals and as soldiers. This balanced and perceptive study of these eminent military men gives a fascinating insight into their careers, into the British army of their day and into a now-remote period when Britain was a world power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ...band, achievements which equal in disciplined valour the deeds of Pizarro and Cortez, who fought in open country against an effeminate foe, and in a comparatively healthy climate, we may congratulate ourselves on possessing such soldiers, and 'lay the flattering unction to our souls' that while British officers volunteer in hundreds to encounter the perils of battle and disease, and the army can provide such a General to lead them to victory, the country has no cause to lament the decay of the spirit that led our fathers to conquer India and colonize so large a portion of the globe. This able and gallant officer is closely identified with the fortunes of Lord Wolseley, under whom he served in Ashantee, Cyprus, South Africa, and Egypt. CHAPTER VII. THE ASHANTEE WAR. Preparations for the War.--Arrival at Cape Coast.--Operations South of the Prah.--The Action at Essaman.--Defence of Abrakrampa, and Retreat of the Ashantees.--Illness of Sir Garnet Wolseley.--Preparations for crossing the Prah.--The Advance into Ashantee.--Battle of Amoaful.--Action at Ordahsu.--Capture of Coomassie.--Return to Cape Coast.--The Treaty of Fommanah.--Sir Garnet Wolseley returns to England.--The Welcome Home. The Government of Mr. Gladstone, like others that had preceded it, was averse from entering upon an Ashantee War, owing to the unpopularity attaching to such expeditions in England, and the knowledge that, in the event of failure, it was morally certain an adverse vote in Parliament would place them on the Opposition benches. But, though long-suffering, it was impossible that any Government not utterly destitute of public spirit could tolerate the continued occupation of the Fantee Protectorate and the practical blockade of the British forts by the savage...

Download or read book Anglo Zulu War 1879 written by Harold E. Raugh and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anglo-Zulu War was one of many colonial campaigns in which the British Army served as the instrument of British imperialism. The conflict, fought against a native adversary the British initially under-estimated, is remarkable for battles that included perhaps the most humiliating defeat in British military history-the Battle of Isandlwana, January 22, 1879-and one of its most heroic feats of martial arms-the defense of Rorke's Drift, January 22-23, 1879. While lasting only six months, it is one of the most examined, studied, and debated conflicts in Victorian military history. Anglo-Zulu War, 1879: A Selected Bibliography is a research guide and tool for identifying obscure publications and source materials in order to encourage continued original and thought-provoking contributions to this popular field of historical study. From the student or neophyte to the study of the Anglo-Zulu War, its battles, and its opponents to the more experienced historian or scholar, this selected bibliography is a must for anyone interested in the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nineteenth century is too often invoked as moment where Britain alone exerted global dominance, without the need for European collaboration. This book shows how this is fundamentally wrong by exploring British collaboration with France between 1848 and 1914. Gillen redefines our understanding of Britain’s role in the world in the age of empire.
