with Barry Cunliffe.
Traditionally, standing armies in Britain have been viewed with disgust: a preference for amateur and temporary soldiers has heightened the importance of the auxiliary forces. Following the announcement of further defence cuts, Ian Beckett tells John Miller about the thinking behind army reforms earlier this year. And Juliet Gardiner recalls the "friendly invasion" of Britain by American GIs.
