Manual of Military Law 1929

Publisher: H. M. Stationary Office
Issued by Command of the Army Council

This case bound 1929 (reprinted 1939) edition of the Manual of Military Law in a well-preserved condition is a compendium of military rules and regulations in three parts that include a history of military law, offences and punishments, rules of procedure; miscellaneous enactments and regulations with an extensive index.

With access to the Royal archives, reports and correspondence, Burne has written a sympathetic account of the Life of York that goes some way to contradicting the unjust aspersions of York's detractors. His mediocre military performance in the field is more than balanced by his achievements as the most competent Commander-in-Chief in the long history of the British Army. His reforms, conducted without fanfare, completely transformed the Army and provided Wellington with a force fit to fight the wars with France (1793-1815).
