The Army Cadet Force is a youth organisation sponsored by the UK's Ministry of Defence. It instils all the best core values of Her Majesty's Forces into young people - so as to enable them to live better and more fulfilling lives. This is achieved by means of fantastic training packages that include adventure training, military skills such as shooting and field craft, first aid and even foreign travel.In an era when the youth of today are so often seen as out of control and lacking direction, Mike Ryan presents a study of an organisation that seeks to provide key skills to its members, 30% of whom go on to join the armed forces. This book honours these young people who are a credit to our country, and yet seldom get recognition for their achievements. In this respect - its praise for our young people,,whatever their background - if in nothing else, The Army Cadet Force is a rare delight!

An electrifyingly dark teen thriller from the author of BEAST and QUARRY. Alex, Levi and Max follow the young soldiers from the local army camp on the moor. But harmless rivalry develops into something far more incendiary. When the boys discover a cache of buried weapons near the training grounds, deadly forces are brought into play.

A Westlake classic back in print, this register is a complete account of the cadet units recognised and recorded in Army Orders during the period 1910-1922 by the Territorial Force Associations of Great Britain. This title is aimed at the military historian who wants to know the nuts and bolts of the British Army, and its formations and structure.

One of Britain's most radical veterans takes us on a guided tour through ex-military life at the heart of a dead empire. The military veteran is claimed by all sides. Conservatives, liberals and socialists all want to speak about and for ex-servicemen, yet far-right demonstrations are dotted with berets and medals and ex-military men have become celebrities of the reactionary manosphere. So who are Britain's ex-servicemen? What do they want? What are their politics? What are the issues which animate them? Are they just irredeemable fascists by dint of their service to Empire? Or is there a radical political potential waiting to be unlocked? Former soldier Joe Glenton takes us on a guided tour through ex-forces life at the heart of a dead empire as he attempts to demystify military culture, rescue the veteran from his captors, and discover if a more optimistic, humanist mode of veteranhood can be recovered from the ruins.
