Everything Worked like Clockwork

"This is an important book not just for cavalry mechanization but for British defence policy in the inter-war years. For too long, obstinacy and traditionalism in the cavalry regiments have been held up as the chief explanation for the slow pace of British Army mechanization, as the last protest of an obsolete military arm. Roger Salmon's book not only nails that particular myth, it also sets out in practical detail how, as well as why, the mechanization of the British cavalry took place, with all its wider consequences for the British Army and for the country's defence." ~Stephen Badsey, University of Wolverhampton
