Campaigns and Commanders Ser.: A British Profession of Arms : The Politics of Command in the Late Victorian Army by Ian F. W. Beckett (2018, Hardcover)
Based on more than thirty years of research into surviving official, semi-official, and private correspondence, Beckett's work offers an intimate and occasionally amusing picture of what might affect an officer's career: wealth, wives, and family status; promotion boards and strategic preferences; performance in the field and diplomatic outcomes.

Reviews
"The result of many years of painstaking research, Ian Beckett's A British Profession in Arms is an invaluable and original addition to the study of the workings of the British Army in the late Victorian period. In what is a complex topic, he skillfully navigates the disparate archive material to produce a book that provides a fascinating insight into the workings of the British Army in the late-nineteenth century."-- War in History, "Ian Beckett is perhaps the most important, and certainly the most prolific, historian of the British military writing today. [He] is a treasure, and his latest book is essential for any military historian or scholar engaged in the culture of the late-Victorian Empire."--- Victorian Studies
