Doing Less with Less - Making Britain More Secure (Paperback)

Notwithstanding the rhetoric of the 'war on terror', the world is now a far safer place. Armed forces designed for the cold war (and only maintained by vested interests within the defence bureaucracy) encourage global interference through pre-emption and other forms of military interventionism. We would be safer with less. The author, who has served as an army officer, is assistant director of the Centre for Security Studies at Hull.
