Abstract

As Daniel Whittingham illustrates in this tightly argued and insightful book, this neglect has come at the expense of overlooking a fascinating and varied career which can reveal much about the context in which Callwell fought, wrote, and thought. Daniel Whittingham, Charles E. Callwell and the British Way in Warfare, Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, 2020; vii + 278 pp.: 9781108480079, £75.00 (hardback) The soldier, writer, and military theorist Charles Callwell has long been a feature of British military history. As Whittingham argues, Callwell was not solely concerned with the conduct of "small wars", but rather with the issue of war in general. [Extracted from the article]
