Mars and Minerva: A History of Army Education

by C.L. Wayper

This history of army education records its origins in the Cromwellian Model Army and traces its development through succeeding centuries to the end of the Cold War. It covers the educational work which took place during the two world wars of the last century as well as the massive educational resettlement programmes which followed them. It also examines the institutional arrangements for managing army education and the evolution of the uniformed corps which many of the programmes. The book has the great merit of placing the various activities it describes in the context of the broader political, social and educational currents of the time.
