The spiritual home of the officer corps of the British Army, the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst has a national and international reputation for leadership. This beautifully illustrated book looks at not only Sandhurst's rich history and rituals but also its daily life and training courses, and examines the spirit of leadership that it instills. This completely updated second edition includes over 100 new images.
2nd edition of the 2006 published book. Large format profusely illustrated. An excellent and comprehensive look at the history of and life in the academy. Of great potential interest to future and past cadets, family members and military historians. Perhaps would benefit from with a further update now that platoons are mixed sex and that the course has changed significantly in recent years. Packed full of information about the world's best officer training school - definitely worth a read.
