This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Territorial Army.
To mark the event a detailed historical account of the organisation's role, both past and present, has been published as a tribute to the thousands of men and women who have served in its ranks. Territorials delivers a comprehensive account of the formation and development of the TA, its tasks in wartime and peacetime Britain and its contribution to current operations.
It is a fact that in the past many Regulars have had a cynical view of the TA, perhaps as 'weekend warriors' or a 'dad's army', and characters such as Gareth in the popular TV series 'The Office' have done little to enhance that reputation. But reading this account by military historian Ian Beckett will leave you with much more respect for a reservist. Packed with contemporary photographs and other illustrations, this coffee table book is full of facts and figures about the organisation, its people and their achievements, as well as genuine anedoctes about the past role of the TA and its function today as an integral part of what is called the 'front line army'. Territorials is a fascinating insight into an organisation that is a true British institution, undoubtedly indispensible to the Regulars and to the defence of British interests at home and overseas. As such, it is a worthy addition to any bookcase.
For those who serve and have served in the TA, this book is a must-have.
