About this ebook

The popularization of the nineteenth-century British army at home was guided by a thoughtful and long-term policy that hinged on a realization of the power of Christian religion to link the army to civil society. The author argues that the larger forces of Victorian militarism, nationalism, and popular imperialism are best interpreted in the light of British Christian self-identity.
