Description
The British Field Marshals 1736-1997: A Biographical Dictionary by T. A. Heathcote is a comprehensive reference work that sheds light on the history of the British Army over the last 250-300 years. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who have held the highest military rank in the British Army, from the introduction of the rank by George II in 1736 to its effective abolition.

The book covers both well-known figures and lesser-known individuals, each with their own unique story to tell. This authoritative guide will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in military history, and its usefulness extends beyond the realm of academia to make it a delightful addition to any bookshelf.
