Two senior British Army officers look at the past, present and future of the Chiefs of Staff. They trace the development of the system, which has provided the model for many other countries, from its origins and through both World Wars to the Falklands conflict - a campaign that moulded together political, strategic and tactical considerations. The authors aim for a balance between an appreciation of the individual Chiefs, with regard both to their own personalities and to their status as professional Heads of Services, and a review of their collective contribution to war and crisis management. The book also presents an overview of the change of emphasis from 1923, when the Chiefs of Staff gained their corporate responsibility, to the 1984 reorganization, and in its conclusions looks towards possible future developments.

Rich in detail, this book gives a fascinating account of the British military campaigns in the Middle East in the Twentieth Century. After the First World War the map of the Middle East was redrawn out of the ruins of the discarded Ottoman Empire. After the defeat of Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany, the inevitable consequences of the conflicting promises the British had previously made to both the Jews and Arabs began to boil over. Arab and Jewish nationalism became unbridled and the United States entered the fray. Debilitated by the losses caused by two wars, Britain's will and capacity to rule weakened and an inevitable political and economic decline began. As the sun set on the British Empire Whitehall was forced, step by step, to surrender dominance to Washington. Britain's Triumph and Decline in the Middle East charts a century in which Britain enjoyed victory in two world wars, but suffered the collapse of the Empire and the previous world order. Now, with Britain's role in this new order in mind, William Jackson looks at the contribution of the British to the multinational force that won the Gulf War and considers Britain's future role in the Middle East.
