Titel: Queen Victoria's Little Wars Zustand: Neu Autor: Byron Farwell Produktart: Taschenbuch ISBN-10: 0393302350 EAN: 9780393302356 ISBN: 9780393302356 Verlag: WW Norton & Co Genre: History Erscheinungsdatum: 24.07.1985 Description: From 1837 to 1901, in Asia, China, Canada, Africa, and elsewhere, military expedition were constantly being undertaken to protect resident Britons or British interests, to extend a frontier, to repel an attack, avenge an insult, or suppress a mutiny or rebellion. Continuous warfare became an accepted way of life in the Victorian era, and in the process the size of the British Empire quadrupled. But engrossing as these small wars are—and they bristle with bizarre, tragic, and often humorous incident—it is the officers and men who fought them that dominate this book. With their courage, foolhardiness, and eccentricities, they are an unforgettable lot.
