Organised Militarism in Interwar Britain

This book is the first full-length study of militarism and militaristic associational culture in interwar Britain. Focusing on the ideas, aims, and activities of the Navy League and the Air League of the British Empire – two extra-parliamentary organisations established to promote naval and aerial supremacy – the book examines how the Leagues negotiated the trauma of the First World War and how they contributed to the societal and military preparation for a second global conflict as the clouds of war gathered in the late 1930s.
