The Victorian Army and the Staff College 1854–1914 by Brian Bond examines the development of professional military education within the British Army during the Victorian period. Focusing on the establishment and evolution of the Staff College, the book explores how the British Army sought to improve its officer corps in response to the challenges of modern warfare.
Bond analyses the impact of the Crimean War and subsequent conflicts on military reform, highlighting the growing importance of training, organisation and strategic thinking. The work also considers the role of the Staff College in shaping senior officers and influencing British military doctrine in the decades leading up to the First World War.
As part of the Routledge Library Editions series, this volume reprints a significant scholarly study that remains an important reference for understanding the professionalisation of the British Army and the development of modern military education.
