    Fuller thought of the British Army as a corporation rather than a mere assemblage, and throughout his memoir, which covered the years 1898 through 1933 he recalls how his portion of that Army developed from what was in essence a police force without a textbook to a truly useful fighting organization. Along the way he happens upon the Boer War and World War I, and he is careful to show how each shaped the British Army as officers and men took lessons learned to heart. Fuller does not spare himself in explaining how people made mistakes because the idea of applying the corporate model to soldiering was untested, but he asserts the British Army made steady advances in organization and technology throughout his 35-year career. Fuller was a witty, self-effacing and elegant writer, making this an accessible account of a life long gone by.
