"Particularly welcome as it contains the work of a largely new generation of historians and approaches the topic in a methodologically innovative and varied fashion." Readers Report"This impressive volume, admirably edited by two of our most distinguished modern Welsh historians, Matthew Cragoe and Chris Williams, provides a timely, much needed corrective. The volume is most attractively produced, a real pleasure to handle, sporting an eye-catching dust-jacket and a striking frontispiece." J. Graham Jones, Planet, 2007 'The volume is attractively produced, a real pleasure to handle, sporting an eye-catching dust jacket and a striking frontispiece depicting a poster of Lord Roberts of Kandahar.' J. Graham Jones, Morgannwg Volume LII, 2008

A volume of essays offering a refreshing insight into the reaction of the Welsh people to war, focusing on a series of conflicts dating from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries; including tables of information, maps and black-and-white illustrations.
