Lecture: The British Imperial Way of Warfare
Tue 10 Jun, 16:30 - 17:40
1 Wellington Square, Oxford
The British Way of Warfare has become a point of debate and discussion in military history and strategy. Basil Liddell Hart first wrote about the ‘British Way in Warfare’ in 1932, and these ideas have been updated and challenged in the work of Michael Howard and David French. However, if the crucial role of Empire and Commonwealth in this story has been noted, it is too often a footnote. The social history of this story, from the perspective of colonised and decolonised peoples, is still emerging. This lecture from Professor Yasmin Khan will think about British warfare from the other end of the telescope by considering Asian non-combatants and camp-followers in the 19th and 20th centuries
