Myerly, Scott Hughes British Military Spectacle. from the Napoleonic Wars through the Crimea.
Cambridge Harvard University Press 1996 0674082494 / 9780674082496 Hardcover Very Good in Good dust jacket
292 pages, 16 plates (some in color) , cloth, DJ, very good. From Library Journal: The British Army is well known for its pomp and pageantry, color and precision drill. Nowhere in its history is this more evident than the period from 1800 to 1857, when the army was at its pinnacle and almost continuously engaged in one campaign or another. This is the first book to take an in-depth look at the purpose and importance of military costume and spectacle in time of war and peace. Myerly (history, Minot State Univ. , North Dakota) shows how dress and discipline mold the soldier and at the same time win over the civilian population through the use of the military review. The author makes a valid point by showing the beginnings of the machine age through the managerial effects of rigid discipline and drill. ; 292 pages
