Your Country Needs You!: Expansion of the British Army Infantry Divisions 1914-1918 by Martin Middlebrook
Taking the politics of Field Marshal Lord Kitchener's appointment as War Minister as his starting point, the author describes in his lively and authoritative style the dramatic events and dynamic personalities key to the ever-deepening British commitment. The reader is skilfully guided through the early mobilisation, dispatch of the British Expedition Force, withdrawal of overseas garrisons and the response from the Territorial Army. At the same time, Kitchener's now legendary appeal to the civilian population produced 'The New Army'.Martin Middlebrook's previous publications, including The First Day on the Somme, Kaiser's Battle, The Peenemünde Raid, The Somme Battlefields (with Mary Middlebrook), and The Nuremberg Raid 30-31st March 1944 (all reissued and in print with Pen and Sword), deal with significant turning points in the two world wars. Martin Middlebrook lives near Boston, Lincolnshire, and is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
