Summary

In "Tanks in the Great War, 1914-1918," J. F. C. Fuller meticulously chronicles the development and deployment of tanks during the First World War, offering a profound analysis of their impact on modern warfare. Fuller adopts a scholarly yet accessible prose, infused with technical insight and illustrative anecdotes that vividly bring to life the challenges and triumphs faced by military engineers and strategists. His work is not only a historical account but also positions tanks as a revolutionary force that altered battlefield dynamics, reflecting the technological and tactical innovations of the time within the broader context of World War I. J. F. C. Fuller was a British Army officer and military theorist who felt the reverberations of the war through his own service and experiences. His innovative perspectives on warfare were shaped by his observations of the early mechanized battles and strategic limitations of traditional military doctrines. Fuller's endeavors were deeply informed by his belief in the necessity for adapting military strategies to the technologies of the modern age, establishing him as a pioneer in armored warfare theory. This book is a must-read for military historians, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the intricate relationship between technological innovations and warfare strategies. Fuller'Äôs incisive analysis sheds light on the birth of armored warfare, making it an essential read that provides both depth and clarity to the understanding of this pivotal era.

    What do you get if you blend a downtrodden head teacher, a hostile school inspector, an incompetent reality TV film crew, an ice cream factory and a load of unruly pigs? A hilarious novel from the pen of Steve Baker, a brilliant writer and school behaviour specialist.
Outstanding tells the story of a school inspection set against the backdrop of a struggling school in a semi-rural setting. Educating Norfolk have been invited in to film the cash strapped school and just happen to arrive at the same time as the inspectors - with hysterical results. Meanwhile, a war erupts between the neighbouring ice cream factory and a local pig farmer in which the school is collateral damage. Plus, an idealistic recently appointed inspector, confronted with the reality of his judgements and their consequences, is forced to make a life-changing decision.  Steve skilfully weaves these elements together and leads the unhappy protagonists towards a magnificent and heartwarming climax.
As a teacher, behaviour specialist and award winning education non-fiction author, Steve Baker brings insider knowledge and sharp wit to this brilliantly crafted debut novel. Combining satire and social commentary, this hilarious book captures the heart of the chaos and pressures of modern-day teaching.
A highly entertaining read for teachers of all levels seeking a light-hearted escape from the pressures and stresses of their day job.

    The nature of warfare has drastically evolved over the centuries, and in the modern age, it has reached unprecedented levels of complexity, technology, and global impact. The battles fought today are not just confined to physical battlegrounds, but stretch across the cyber world, through the air with drones, and into the very fabric of political and social systems. Understanding the shocking truth about modern warfare means acknowledging how it has fundamentally changed and the far-reaching consequences it has on global security, human lives, and the future of warfare itself. 
  
Unlike the traditional wars of the past, where armies fought on clearly defined battlefields, modern warfare is multifaceted. Conflicts today often involve a mix of conventional military forces, covert operations, cyber-attacks, and the use of advanced technologies like drones and artificial intelligence. The lines between combatants and non-combatants are increasingly blurred, and civilians are often the most affected by the consequences of war. The tools and tactics employed in modern warfare raise important questions about the ethics of conflict, the responsibility of nations, and the role of technology in shaping the future of armed engagement. 
  
One of the most significant shifts in modern warfare is the central role technology now plays. The advancements in weapons systems, surveillance capabilities, and the rise of autonomous machinery have fundamentally altered how wars are fought. With the introduction of drones and cyber warfare, military strategies are less about physical dominance and more about information control, precision strikes, and disrupting an enemy's infrastructure without direct confrontation. This change has made warfare faster, more efficient, and, in many ways, less personal.
