Some have been full-scale military campaigns, but most have been undeclared wars, fought out in such widely differing theatres as Malaya, Kenya, Cyprus, Brunei, Borneo, Aden, Oman and Northern Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Savage Wars of Peace\u003c\/i\u003e is the fighting soldiers' view of these campaigns, recounted in their own words to oral historian Charles Allen, chronicler of such classics as \u003ci\u003ePlain Tales from the Raj \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTales from the South China Seas\u003c\/i\u003e. Drawing on the spoken recollections of over seventy military figures of all ranks, Charles Allen has assembled a rich kaleidoscope of images of warfare as experienced by those at the sharp end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLetting the soldiers speak for themselves, with extraordinary and sometimes very moving candour, these unique first-hand accounts give a rare insight into Britain's modern 'peacetime' army - the changes it has undergone since 1945, and the bonds that unite fighting men.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118305296624,"sku":"9780751565317","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780751565317_p0.jpg?v=1763639258","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780751565317","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
