Wales and War - Society, Politics Religion in Nineteenth Twentieth Centuries

Klappentext In Britain! Wales has gained a reputation as a nation wedded to pacifism! but this view ignores the long history of Welsh involvement in armed conflict. The essays assembled in "Wales and War" examine the reactions of Welsh people to a series of conflicts from the Napoleonic Wars to the conflict in the Falklands. The impact of Britain's imperial economy on Welsh support for and participation in war! as well as the role played by geography! are among the range of illuminating topics considered in this collection. Featuring work from a new generation of historians! "Wales and War" is an innovative addition to our understanding of British history.
