The British Army in the 1980s by Mike Chappell
Published in 1987, this illustrated study provides a unique insight into the British Army of the time. Composed entirely of volunteers, its morale sustained by its curious and little-understood attitudes towards tradition, the British Army of the 1980s, with its reputation as one of the best in the world, attracted respect and admiration from the military expert and the layman alike. Written and illustrated by a former British Army infantryman with 22 years' experience, this book details the Army's history, organization, uniforms and distinctions. The text is backed by numerous illustrations including photographs and detailed colour figure artworks.
