Six Campaigns: National Servicemen on Active Service, 1948-60: National Servicemen at War, 1948-60 - Rilegato
Between 1948 and 1960 British armed forces were involved in six campaigns overseas - in Malaya, Korea, Kenya, Cyprus, Suez and South Arabia. To provide the manpower for these operations, fixed-term universal male conscription was instituted in peacetime for the only time in the country's history. Of the million and a half men called up on reaching the age of 18, about 125,000 - or one in twelve - served in an active theatre of operations. Approximately 400 conscripts were killed in action, whilst many more were lost in accidents. In this book 23 National Servicemen, each of whom served in at least one of the six campaigns, reminisce about their time in far-off places, facing largely invisible enemies, in pursuit of aims which remain obscure to this day. They recall the brutality, the hardship, the excitement and the humour of an experience which for all of them appears to have been an important, if sometimes painful, part of the process of growing up. They also record, in many cases, the indifference - both personal and official - with which they were treated on their return home.

Descrizione libro Hard Cover. Condizione: Very Good+. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good+. First Edition. 169 pp, large 8vo (9 7/16" H). Maps. "Between the years 1948 and 1960, British armed forces were involved in six campaigns overseas, in Malaya, Korea, Cyprus, Suez and South Arabia. In order to provide the manpower for these operations, fixed-term universal male peacetime conscription was instituted for the only time in this country's history. Of the million and a half men called up on reaching the age of eighteen, about a hundred and twenty-five thousand, or one in twelve, served in an active theatre of operations, for which a campaign medal was awarded. This book consists of the reminiscences of twenty-three of these men, who each served in one, or in some cases two, of the six campaigns. They recall, often with some emotion, their service in far-off places, against largely invisible enemies, in pursuit of aims which remain obscure to this day. They remember the brutality, the hardship, the excitement and the humour of an experience which for all of them appears to have been an important, if sometimes painful, part of the process of growing up. They also record, in many cases, the indifference, both personal and official, with which they were treated on their return home, and this book represents an attempt, however small and belated, to set straight the record regarding the achievements of these 'virgin soldiers'." Very light browning to top of textblock, small ghost sticker mark on front pastedown. Dust jacket has very minor edge wrinkling, very light rubbing - mainly on rear panel. Codice articolo 16394
