Brian Gerrish and Charles Malet join forces for an initial foray into Military Matters, discussing the decline of the UK’s military capability and the influences — from within and without— governing this particular assault. Drawing on their respective careers in the Royal Navy and the British Army, the two veterans examine some of the issues they encountered, and the consistent themes, through a period running from the early 1970s until 2010.
‘Defence’, or ‘war’, has been a theme covered in great detail by UK Column over the years, and this programme points toward the abundance of material in the Defence section on the UK Column website.
