Military Intervention in Britain: From the Gordon Riots to the Gibraltar Incident - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The military is supposed to stand aside from British society; to act only "in aid of civil power". In "Military Intervention in Britain", retired Judge Antony Babington shows that from the earliest time to the present the British have relied on the military for the preservation of law and order. The army has been called in to deal with riots, strikes, the disturbances in Northern Ireland and the fight against terrorism, which culminated in the killing of three unarmed members of the IRA in Gibraltar. This book should be of interest to students and lecturers of military history and political history.
